VIRUS ALERT!

(1/8) > >>

Soul Sojourner:
To everyone using MSN Messenger, or any other Messenger program. If anyone sends you a file, do NOT download it, if anything virus scan it first and take every precaution. Your friends, family, and anybody you know, whether on your contact list or not, may send you a virus, whether intentionally, or not. Any E-Mails or IM's sent to you, whether by a friend or not, that say anything similiar to:

Hey, check this out:
<Link or file posted here>

There is a high chance that it is a virus. Not only because of the suspicious wording, but also because someone who recently received a virus, may have their MSN or any Messenger account taken over, and they will attempt to spread the virus to you. In addition, a "hacker" recently was released from jail, because of his young age, and will most likely be back at it. He was responsible for creating several worm viruses. Gamers are being targeted as well, and hackers know this to be a way to get control and access to more computers. Be wary.

IF I SEND YOU ANY IM'S TO DOWNLOAD ANY FILE IT IS NOT ME. DO NOT CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION AND DO NOT TOUCH THE FILE OR LINK!

This is my fair warning to everyone. Don't trust your virus protection to stop viruses, that is the first thing they target, and disable.

There is a virus fucking with my computer right now. I see all the weird shit happening. Whatever, nothing I can do about it until tomorrow, or until it pisses me off enough to grab my boot disk and run wipe....

Oh look some window just popped up flashed twice and disappeared... I think it's a worm... I check my system folders and I see various files in different places missing... *sigh* better grab that Jump Drive and take my shizz off.

Ya this second post was to say that I have one, since I forgot to mention that. Yeah someone from GodSpire I know *cough* Cobra *cough* sent me something through messenger... unlike normal, since I had just woken up and was in a bad mood... I skipped the scanning... damn I pick all the best times NOT to scan eh? my comp when coocoo immediately afterwards closed all MSN msger things... destroyed anti-virus and closed most programs. Of course I tried reinstalling anti-virus over and over.. but... youknow... it didnt work, the virus wouldnt let me scan. it also said on msn I signed into another computer... so dont be surprised it "I" am sending u viruses. It isnt me. In addition my virus scanner told me an unauthorized program was changing it's settings. So yeah I am fucked, but no biggy I'll be back... soon. (I enjoy having friends that are technicians) Only one thing could make me truly happy right now... the virus creator/users name... and location...

damn windows popping up... oh btw. I also recieved some spyware with it... luckily I have my spyware begone *hugs*

There is one bright side though... and that is... it wasnt a magistr...

Viruses through messengers have been around as long as the messenger themselves.

Try going starting up in "Safe mode with networking", going to www.trendmicro.com,  and clicking "free online scan".
