new virus
« on: September 17, 2006, 08:58:49 pm »
A new virus is out there soreading through messenger live by sending a message "lol check:P http://www.uglyphotos.net/photo223.PIF" to all your contacts which is online.

If you as much as click the link you are infected, if you download it you are more than just infected, the virus will spread fast through your system, you'll have to start it in safe mode and scan your computer for virusses.

You'd have to manually select, copy, and paste that URL to visit it now - clicking on the link itself takes you nowhere.

If you clicked the link, you got a virus. If you clicked the link and selected to download the file, you got a even worse virus.
