Msn Messenger Virus - awful

Sprnknwn
Does it spreads around msn network no matter what program you use or only if you are using a version of Microsft MSN?

For example, I use Trillian...

It will spread throughout the network as a file that is sent to u by your friend. Therefore, you can get caught by using Trillian

This virus doesn't work on Linux.

I know this is out of order but only thick peopel would accept this. I kind of knew it was a virus because the names of the things were cheasy lmao. It was like "COOr look at her balloons" etc..
And some of them I think end in .pif or somthing.
What are the effects of it anyways? I remember there use to be the one where when you opened it your msn name was "I've got my period!" lmao!

Florisjuh
Well the prob of .pif is that it's an image format too

Has it been active for long? I knew the last one: when an infected system is restarted, Windows automatically runs an application called "startup.exe", which begins by informing the user that the PC is infected.

    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.....
