There is this new msn virus, that when you get it, randomly sends to your contacts a message like:

"is it ok with you if I upload this pic"

and then trys to send you an a zip file named IMG-0012, inside it, theres an exe with the image "name" on it.

A lot of people are getting this bloody thing, soo watch out.

Anyone this day an age who is still tricked by such a lame tactic deserves FAR WORSE than just the virus.

File this under: who cares

The idea of this post is to not accept a random person trying to send you a photo you don't know of. I DID NOT get the virus. I saw a friend of mine get it while I was at his house (I told him not to run the .exe file, he still did anyways). So, just don't do it mate.

Thanks for the tip, SF_Gold.

and Freelancer, there's nothing wrong with spreading the word about a virus. Stop being an ******.

Accepting files from random strangers is like having sex with random strangers. They might be virus free, but probably not.

I'm reminded of a time when my friend asked my help to get rid of a worm on his system.

I ran through some measures, and then he told me got the worm from a NWN keygen. He knew it was an infected file (his A/V software told him that it was infected), but he decided to chance it.

At this, I told him that only a format and reinstall could save him.

I guess ignorance is the new alcohol.

This is the same as every other msn based virus thing.

**** you, Mr. "I'm in a good mood for the first time in 3 months so let's defend a moron."

I mean, really; "thanks for the tip?" Are you ****ing kidding me?

This thread needs to have the title "IF YOUR NAME IS WARLOCKMISH, PLEASE CLICK THIS FILE"

Exactly. These things have been going around for years.

It wasn't from a complete stranger, it was from a friend who I happened to have tooken pictures with recently and who constantly updates her fotolog, when I dowloaded and opened the zip file I realized that it was a virus due to the photo being in .exe format, I did not execute the .exe file and I deleted the zip file.

So yeah, I'm a moron because I wanted to tell people about it.

Yeah. Pretty much.

Due to the fact that most people here have decided to take the course of being an ***, I hereby declared this thread locked.

Have a good day.

You guys are jerks.
