Yet again theres a virus targeting MSN and Windows Live Messengers, once infected the virus sends itself to everyone on your list, the virus can send infected .zip files and/or a link to a site with a lot of malware, I'm currently in the process of removing the virus off my laptop, so more info to come

so if you receive a link or file in question, confirm with your buddy to make sure the file and/or link is safe to open

it wont get near your computer if your not logged into the messenger

the virus drops like 10 random Trojans in your system32 and temp folders


EDIT: as far as I know the virus transmits itself from msn to msn, I dont know if it dose transmit from MSN to yahoo

Its safe to log on as long as you be careful with files and links and I also recommend having a up to date anti virus if you don't have a anti virus go to download.com and download AVG free and for backup get Adaware 2007 both removal utilities are free downloads and they work really good

okay thats a big relief because I use yahoo 1000 times more than MSN (better emoticons)

i use AVG because it's FREE and personally I think it's better than Anti-Virus programs that you pay for :P

So as long as you don't accept links or like files you won't get infected right?

Once you have it, It will send to everyone on your list hoping that it gets spread.. obviously xD
The file is under 100kb and the user should has a message saying "Hey, I have a picture of us and was wondering if I could put it on MySpace" etc.

Just click decline and dont accept it. If its 100kb, Its probably genuine since most of the crap they send are under 100kbs lol
