msn virus on its way

THERE IS AN MSN VIRUS COMING AROUND FAST

It poses as the person and says something like 'I saw a pic of you on this website! check it out!'

or

'My mate slammed his car into a tree! i got a pic on my cellphone.'

THIS IS A VIRUS

In 2 minutes it spreaded through me and 10 or 15 others

It is an exe that resends it to all the other people on your list

Do not accept it.

This has already existed in the past, not anything new or recent. Simple answer: don't accept files from friends unless they tell you about it in detail.

True that.

Anyway, what does the virus do ?

It installs itself onto your computer and sends a message to everyone on your friend list about a link they should go to (which is the link to the virus).
The victim doesn't know that his computer sent a bunch of messages to everyone, so usually, when you ask about the link, they won't know what you are talking about.
Its just like a worm, jumping from one computer to another spreading around.

Other than that, I do not know of any other risks it could have.

the only reason mac doesn't get viruses is cause no hacker thinks its worth it to make one for it.

I knew youd say that, I can always count on you to bash the mac

. And your point, who cares WHY they don't make them, the point is they don't

QUICK someone lock it, before soviet replies!!!!!

what war? MY statement is absolutely correct. Macs are better for digital art type things, but pc's are better for freedom, gaming, customization, and exploring more about the hardware and software of computers.

BIG NEWS

Its the mdn.exe virus, it can kill your comp, keylogger, allsorts.

To terminate it or to check you dont have it, ctrl alt del -> processes and end it!

Who the fuck is stupid enough to accept a .exe? ;/

Hmmm, he send me a picture, lets open the .exe for it

Post by **Pedsdude** » September 26th, 2007, 6:30 pm

lol, it's so blatently a virus. I've been sent it many times but never accepted - maybe something to do with the fact that there aren't any 'naked pictures' of me? If you accept a file like that then you deserve what comes your way, because you're an idiot!

Ok, so if you are 100% sure that this is a virus that can kill your comp, you will have to do more than just end the process.
You will have to find the exe file and delete it. Also, I am thinking that the file installed itself somewhere in the maze of registries, but I have no idea where it could be.
Search around on google, I am sure you can find some helpful directions of getting rid of that bug

I know, my a-v found it and destroyed it but that stops it sending the info whilst youre getting rid.
