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

Example convo:
Friend w/Virus says:
Heya!
Check this link out!!!![/span]
Cochy says:
[span style=\'color:purple\']uh what it this??
no response....no response....
So they didn't tell me, so thats probably a virus. Simple as that.

remember, you asked for that porno site, that was the link to it..
Do you have a lot of files on the computer that you can't replace easily or something preventing you from just reinstalling windows?

Well it's XP, and there is the problem of Activation... I could wipe it I suppose, alot of crap I need to redownload. But that's about all. All of my writing, stories, and poetry are all on my jump drive. And I have almost all the songs I want written down, the rest i can find later. Unfortunately I need to make a new goddamn boot disk, this piece of trash either isnt working or my floppy drive is fucked up.
O boy, Hell, your scaring the shit outa me 0.0 A well il just back up everything, it didnt delete anything yet, and il format my pc. back to 0. All i need is my nwn chars and my software. The shitty thing is, i have over 15000$ worth in programs. If i bring it in a shop, they will bust my ass.

Ouch, you don't know anyone good with comps? Like a Technician or something?
Three times you say? Well, I guess that cures my problem, since I've never tried before, being they are dickheads and I would'nt put a one timer past them. (I have 2 Installer CD's, bought seperately, but both have been activated once, so this means I get 4 more then eh?)
I am pondering whether to let it die, before I even attempt to wipe and reinstall, or just to do it soon, I wanna learn a bit more about it and write up a report and send that to Symantec at least first. Also I've written a lot more of my book so I guess I gotta get new shit off here lol. At least in my book there are no comps, oh wait.. I guess technically there are... well at least people are too busy killing eachother to notice.
WTF WTF WTF TF OMFG i only have 1 ****** drive OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
What are you talking about? I thought you said the virus was gone, and that you were getting a new comp anyway? ... ... ...
i am lol i think its gone at least i not getting of that msn but i only have omg nvm i have them back ;)

It's possible that its just idle, at least mine is. It hasn't been sending anything to others anymore either, well it may have last night. I woke up this morning and was logged out, so its possible it sent some. For now on when I crash, I'm unplugging the net. I have it at a standstill I've ended Dark.exe process, and leave my comp on, no restarting nothing, and if it ever logs me out anymore I just relog msn, and it cant send anything. But that hasn't happened for like 2 days now. I dont dare defragment, my files in WINDOWS may be moved, and in case I plan on taking a screenie of the missing files or having someone look at it themselves, it doesn't seem wise, there's some other reasons too, it also helps me keep track if it has deleted anything else.
You have diablo installed on that computer? Does anyone even play that anymore?
[snapback]27096[/snapback]
LMFAO, yeah, surprisingly they do, lol. I have a friend who loves to fight, get laid, and party. He is a hell of a lot smarter than he acts, and not many people realize that, but he doesn't have much liking for games with big stories and all that other good shit like RPing, he likes sitting down, killing shit for awhile, and then going back to whatever else he was doing. Very hiperactive guy (has ADHD, OCD, and some other crap. lol). So I installed Diablo on my comp for him since he loves the game, and got him some "hacks" that are like 4 yrs. old, since he wanted them. lol.
Anyway, I better back up my shit right now, and do what I am going to do... in case I **** some shit up in the process. (This csrss thing worries me a bit, I could swear I seen it running before I got the virus, but it was created the day and time I got it, and it is in a folder I've never known to exist. But the process says it can't be ended for it is an important system process.) Looks like I never had to call a technician or anything after all. When I am through with this crap, I am getting Trend Micro, Mcafee, and the newest version of Norton. =D
I may not end up having to wipe... but I know myself well enough to realize that I am going to do it anyway, when I'm ready. ; )
