NEW MSN VIRUS

[4512jth]

There has been a new MSN virus hanging around. It sens links such as:

hxxp://PictureHostz.com/?user=[yourusername]&image=[link] ?!?

... HAHAHA!! :P

Whatever you do, DON'T CLICK IT!

This is a relatively new variant of the virus, and it is getting so damn annoying so please do the following if you know you have it or think you have it:

1. Has someone been asking you "What link did you send me?" or something like that? If so, you probably have the virus. If you THINK you have it, ask some of your MSN contacts if they have gotten links from you.
2. Update all antivirus/antispyware/etc to their latest version.
3. Run a full system check for viruses.
4. If your AV has a boot time scannig feature, use that so none of the Windows files are in use and may be detected.
5. Change your MSN password to prevent the hackers from using it.

If you have any solutions easier than this, such as a removal tool, then please post here. Also (off topic) LOTS of Gvardia members have this virus lol.

I blocked a lot of people tonight because of this virus...

It isn't a virus.

It's a batch file which tells your computer to send it.

I wonder why you blocked them? The virus do not spread if you see the text message of the link. Why being so afraid?

[Devin]

Well it does get crap annoying when people constantly send the link, like every time the person who was sending it logged in it sent that crap to me.. its so annoying.. now he blocked me for telling him to "fuckoff" over msn because i was busy and it was being constantly sent to me  -.-
