MSN virus goin round (again)

A friend of mine has it

If somebody sends you this message

Quote:
hey check this.. <insert site link> ..brb !!
DONT CLICK IT
(I could tell it wasnt a message from him he tends to use caps at the start of his sentancies and he never says "check this")

So to cut the story short
If anybody sends you any links via MSN dont click them.

be sure to scan your computer on a regular basis as a safeguard to these things.

ad-aware scan wouldnt hurt either

True
But there is another way -
Dont download random files from sites you dont know
Dont use P2P downloaders
Dont go on sites that offer so called "free stuff"

Thanks for the warning. As a rule, I never use unknown links on MSN without Googling first, although I'm not on MSN much anyway.

Yeah, my friends tend to send me "I found your picture on hot or not , go look!!!1!1". Or they ask me if they can use a picture of me for something, but I don't click it because its a virus.

Shame to hear its making rounds again, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I got one of these once, I clicked the link, and it took me to a page where it asked me to sign into my MSN account (without even an attempt to look like an MSN page), and a mysterious file downloaded to my desktop, which my Mac had no idea what to do with, and disregarded
