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 you...

QUOTE If somebody by the name of json73002@yahoo.com adds you. dont accept it. Its a virus. Tell
everyone on ur bulletin because if somebody on ur list adds them, u get the virus too. Tell everyone
on your list not to open anything angell11. tewwtuler and sassy*BLEEP*. It is a hard drive killer
and a very horrible virus. Pass this letter to everyone on your buddy list. We need to find out who
is really using these accounts. Sorry for the inconvenience. Becareful while using Messengers
guys! Don't keep your messengers online unnecessarily. Go offline as so...

I was online, and then a friend sent me that file, and I accepted it because he's been wanting
to send me a program that improves the resolution of the screen. But then my email address was in
the file name, so I asked him what that was. To my horror, he said 'virus', but it was too
late, I already opened it and then several chat screens popped-up, and it was auto-sent to some of
the friends on the contact list. Luckily i was quick enough to ask them not to click on it. And my
norton internet security and microsoft anti spyware program detected it and asked ...

I found out that AVG Free version isn't eliminating even trojan viruses. I only have this free
version from protecting my system. Is it okay to install one more anti-virus software on top of this
AVG Free version which is already installed and updated to the latest version? I have the option of
installing Norton Anti-virus 2005. Will it cause any problem since the two softwares may use the
same source from the computer, if I install this one? Do you recommend that I should uninstall
first the existing software and install the new one? Will Norton Anti-virus 2005 ...

ok, so a few days ago I was away from msn and when i got back i had a message from a friend on
msn..it was a link that said somthing along the lines of "hey is this really you" and listed my
email address..I clicked on the link stupidly and when i did that I got a window that said "run or
save" i didn't click on either of those, I actually restarted my laptop, but since i did that,
every time i log on I get that run/save message popping up. I am unable to fully use msn on my
computer. I cannot receive webcams and my msn is freezing frequently. /mad.gif" style="verti...

Hi Guys, Lately I have had this same annoying pop-up dialog box pop up that says: QUOTE NOTICE:

Yesterday it was reported that their a new virus masking as a IE7 download using a very creative
looking email message with a link instead of a attachment. Name of the virus is called
Virus.Win32.Grum.A,, they mention that their hasn't been much damage cause by this however,
since they mention that instead of the download being attach they are providing a link. So once a
person clicks that link the virus will kick in. Their hasn't been any reports about what the
virus payload is, they do mention that it usually carries a keylogger program. Funny enough this v...

At the request of an employer, I was sent to research this virus. Lo and behold, google helped
alot. But from what i found, it's a year old. It took it's effect back in 2005, and fron
what I read, was pretty much squashed from all the publicity it got. Can anyone comment on this?
Is it still around? My employer won't go online due to irrational fears, until I tell him
otherwise....

There's a new virus nowadays that attacks computers via Skype. If you have it - it's
possible that you'd get an email FROM ONE OF YOUR CONTACTS with a message: "Have you seen the
last pix of >? {URL}". Thus the virus spreads across your contacts, and then, if you click on the
link - your computer will be infected. Beware - the epidemic only started a few days ago. If you
get that message from someone you know - ask a person, if they really sent it (a bot would not have
a logical answer ready for that). Take care, abminara....

SOURCE Well it seems that Microsoft found a huge hole in MSN Messenger that was bad enough that
they want people to upgrade to the current Messenger which is Live 8.1 or something like that. As
for details on the problem they just said the following, "..which let hackers embed malicious code
in Web chat invitations to users." and that they found this problem in "6.2, 7.0 and 7.5, as well as
Windows Live Messenger 8.0." Although it was interesting to know that people were actually
complaining about Live Messenger being a resource hog, well the last time I check msn w...

To think the Microsoft ANI exploit and the botnet things were bad but this just top the charts, this
new variation of the Storm virus of last year gets a new powerful punch. The virus gets sent
through a password protected zip fil in which the password is contain in a image file in the email.
The email subject contains either Worm Alert!" or "Trojan Detected! so do not open and just
delete it. Also the image file will read something like UrgentNotice.gif" or "AbuseReport.gif. and
the zip file will read something like "patch-####.zip" or "removal-####.zip.". ...

With the flood of news coming about the .ani exploits it seems the tech world is recieve more news
about new hacks, viruses and other bad stuff these days. Today Kaspersky Lab created a virus that
is able to affect the Ipod, however, it is only affecting Ipod's that have linux installed and
not the standard OS that comes with Ipod. The virus goes by the name of Podloso, although they say
it doesn't show a current threat this virus does show the possiblity to install malware into
devices such as the Ipod. They also mention that the virus does not copy it self...

Although I am bit surprise that no one really take about way back then, but it seems the hackers and
crackers I starting to use the microsoft update downloading to transmit there malware and torjans to
compromised computers. The reason being is that the Microsoft update program bypasses firewall
security protocals and so when that malware is getting download, your firewall and virus programs
will not pick it up. I know a few people turn it off and either download them manually or don't
download them at all. So to toss out a warning, when you get he windows update ...

Since the beginning of 2007 a lot of the security reports I have been reading have mentioning about
hackers using rootkits to get into people's computers. Google defines a rootkit as a set of
programs used to hack into a system and gain administrative-level access. Once a program has gained
access, it can be used to monitor traffic and keystrokes; create a backdoor into the system for the
hacker's use; alter log files; attack other machines on the network; and alter existing system
tools to circumvent detection. Rootkits are an extreme form of System Modificatio...

Hi you've probably been asked this about 50 million times, but i'm gonna ask! i bought
a computer off my dads friends and when i got it it started getting windows boxes up saying that the

ntl firewall and security check this used to pop up when starting up but it doesn't do it any
more. Its then started to connect its self to the internet to a web page that just has 21600 on it.
if u shut it down it may pop up again later. At the weekend its starting to lo...
