Okay there’s a new virus going around MSN, I thought only my dumb friends were the ones accepting it, but turns out its across the nation. So I dont know if you've got it and deleted it, or was smart and didn’t accept it. Well it goes by (as far as I know) three names. There like "Frog something something blender" "My new photo!" and like "Me and my lesbian friends!". Its a 17kb file, so if some1 in your list tries to send you one the those, DONT ACCEPT! It goes into your list(takes total control, so you cant do anything) and sends itself to EVERY1 in your friends list! And again, you might get this file, and you might not. But it is smart to always be aware.
It may also be something like really funny pic or something like that but we have been warned not to get onto MSN messenger.
Keep on the lookout for this virus and they said they would have it fixed in a few days.

ya I think its very helpful...I thought there was this email adress that went around and made ur account corrupted but u might be right..btw I dont really like msn but I have to use it as all my m8s go there and all people go there instread of yahoo as msn is always down and the servers are so slow and there are like thousands of viruses and its like a big compe between yahoo and msn as they both made there accounts bigger at the same time which is a bit of a surpriser rolleyes.gif laugh.gif and I think yahoo is better as they gave us 100mb in the strating ANYWAYS so lol....sorry for the off topic discussion but ye...thx for the info but there are like two thousands of these viruses going in and out of msn. I think it is because they are not well protected and they have been hacked b4...maybe that guy plans to come bak...that would be cool biggrin.gif

I just know when it's a virus but thanks anyway for reminding those who don't. Btw, what does it do? I heard from my friend who had it that it corrupted all his files?

There are several different ones but this one in patucular just totaly takes all controll of your computer. So it would suck bad if you got it.Everyone is saying dont get on msn messager! My freind almost got it he got one of the same pics but he knew what it was and didnt save it so even if your stupid freind saves it YOU WILL GET IT ALSO. Thats one of the manin thing im woried about because all of my freinds are complet idiots so im scared of what might happen.\
Just a warning

I accepted the frog one and Norton said it was a virus and disabled it. But untill then I've not accepted any of them. They are all 17kb I think. IT's good to worn everybody about it.
