Ah! How shameful, I fell for one of the Bropia viruses (which came in the LOL.scr format). I was too curious. At least I didn't execute it. But the other day I checked my virus vault and it said something about a Trojan and volume thing. I think that's what it does.

I heard some people were never able to fix it. That must be terrible. I heard it loves to close programs.
 Once again, someone created an infamous virus, making him/her one of the most hated person on earth!

Just prevent it from starting up in the registry. Use either msconfig or regedit. Please refer to google to find out how

Meh, I should be safe. I never accept anything through MSN unless I know what it is, and I trust it. I also have an Antivirus, so I should be safe

QUOTE(GM-University @ Mar 12 2005, 04:22 PM) Woah, that's strange, how are they running a virus on MSN messenger? I'd think it'd be more secure than that, they must have hacked the MSN servers or something.  Well I got it and I can't get rid of it can someone help??

I got this already, I'm so sad that I accepted it. I just let everyone else get the virus because I don't care. If I'm infected so are they.
jk.I found that the best way to remove it is to click control alt delete and click on project1 and click end task. |

Most of my friends of msn are not aware until i say
"Dude im not accepting that, thos .exe files can be really bad things" and they are like "WTF I NEVER SENT U ANYTHING" if u know what i mean, when my stupid sister acepted one of these viruses my computer immediatly caught it and its registered as a virus, i actually thought it was just sombodys stupid exe program, but they are viruses so, well to me... all i think is needed is a decent anti-virus , mines is a fee edition of AVG and it works fine
