Simple answer. Run a virus scan to get rid of it.

Simple answer. Run a virus scan to get rid of it.

Or don't download and run the virus in the first place...

 

[Nick W]

I'm immune from it.

Sadly I've already had a message from 5 windows suckers with it.

How did you do it?

 

[16CSVT2700]

So what happens if I ask someone to have a look at my myspace and see that they think about it?

Don't click it cos it could be a virus? :dontknow:

(www.myspace.com/jamerino50149 by the way:thumblef

 

[Demps]

I think it comes in the form of "hey look at my new pics on this link" etc.

 

[16CSVT2700]

Yeah anno! It looked a bit suspect to me so I didn't click it!

Tip: official myspace links start with www.myspace.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx etc I think

not always, depends what you're linking to

e.g if direct linking to a pictures pages it will start with viewmorepics.myspace.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx etc etc

 

[16CSVT2700]

Oh yes good point! I just checked that as well :thumbrig:

 

[Max]

Surely the fact that it's a .exe file is suspicious!

 

[16CSVT2700]

I didn't actually see .exe on the link it sends out on msn tho.. and I didnt click it anyway so

 

[PeterH]

best way to stop it is Dont Us MSN

 

[Demps]

dont use msn, pfft, its probably the best instant messaging service there is, although there is a few faults it is still the best, i have had the same email for at least 6 years now and dont fancy changing a contact list that has being built up over time. Im sure a lot of people would agree with me on that is the best.

Yahoo Messenger is a better choice as the security is good and there are far more winks than MSN and even let anybody to make their own custom status message. Still I use MSN Messenger, anyway got to try Google Chat.

 

[Julian G]

Phew!
At last i can get on railuk
grrrrr
Stupid Errors and Stupid Restarts all the time
Still affected by it

Two things been affecting the computer
wuinstaller.exe
QWIZA.exe

 

[Demps]

bloody, emotions, winks, additions they are a load of ****, who really cares about them; obviously people who dont have as much interest in the actual purpose of the program, Instant messaging. Its just extras to try and put more life into a programe with only one inital purpose. As with most things today things become out of hand end exeed the actual purpose of the design, and thus bring it to a end.

Someone sent me a message asking me to visit their MySpace site, and it kept sending this message every 5 mins! I ignored it - good job really!

Process kill them on start up or remove them from the startup programs thingy.

Otherwise just search for them in windows search. Usually works, although it's probably infected the registry!

 

[PeterH]

well if you want to chat to others why not use a good irc chat room

 

[Nick W]

Ok if it's a virus the link does not have an exe, but clicking it will download it.

I don't use windows but I think you should get a chance to cancel it.

On mac, even though .exe is windows not mac, there is a still a dialogue box popping up to tell yo it's a program and warning it can be bad, asking for confirimation.

These are the sort of dodgy links..
check out this pic of you on myspace! http://p1392.pic-myspace.(virus)info
