Mate of mine got some virus shit on msn where he talks to people and it gives them a message about pictures? Apparantly its a virus and downloads crap on your pc, tried to help him but seems to not go away anyone had this problem before and knows how to solve it? If so say.

Thanks in advance.

Those two are the best. If they don´t work, he needs to reinstall Windows, OR do some intense googling to identify the problem.

Oh.. and tell him to stop surfing "funny" sites ;)

Yeh my little bro got it to, i loled.

But seriously alot of people i know hav got it dont go on any links people send you if it looks at all suspicious. I think my little bro got the link 'Is this you in the pic' then link.

You get a file on ur desktop sometimes if u do hav one from the link try deleting it.

Doesn´t work. The trick is, that there is a macro somewhere, which will create a new file or even multiple files each time you boot your computer. You need to identify the creating file.

Maybe it only works when you open it from a MSN convo:confused:

I've had that - Firstly to stop sending the messages, re-download msn and install it, then the MSN problem gone, then i just un-installed some program forgot what it was called tho, but it was running in my alt + ctrl + delete "proccess" thing. So I un-installed it etc.

That is the message my bro sends out from his msn randomley even if hes not having a convo with someone.


I've been getting this message from about 10 people already. Luckily, I'm not stupid enough to click it, but it seems some new shit is spreading.

Put on the masks.

EDIT: Fuck me, my bro just sent it to me and he's on the same network :<

First thing to do is boot up in safe mode and run a full virus scan, cos this virus is a trojan!

I found a link that might point you to a virus scanner that will detect and remove the virus for you. Random Forum Post

I'd also make sure you have the latest version of Messenger too, as the new ones have better security built in (but not impenetrable!)

Good thing you didn't post the links here, I mean, now atleast people with the clickfever won't be infected from this forum.

Ingafgrinn now people will know not to click that link over msn. Just trying to help no need for the whine.

And.... if they auto click the link here what are the chances of them doing it over msn?
