Current msn pest.

[The View Askew]

There is a DOS script going round on msn, do NOT respond to.

"Is this u?" followed by a url that I will not post for the sake of the idiots among us.

Messenger, and no I was not shat upon, I will not run a script that was sent to me under a different name with even the url containing a different extention, JPG in this case.

DOS script? On a non DOS Windows XP machine?

Yes I know we have command prompts, but come on Windows XP does not run off DOS no more.

[The View Askew]

Its a strange one then cos its definiteley causing a seemingly widespread problem for messenger, conversations are becoming a farm of "IS THIS U???" and usernames being changed to "IS THIS U??".

Must be damned irritating to be infected.

Is this the same one that went around a year or two ago?
Same 'Is this you' with a URL. Then every so oftern your MSN would bring up all your online contacts buzzing them with the same URL?
If so, it was a bugger to get rid off. Took weeks.

I just haven't turned on msn since I got hit by this virus thing earlier.

once you click on the link which seems to have the .jpg extension then it opens a backdoor entry on your machine, you typical trojan, which then sends the same to all the contacts.

Like a TIT i actually clicked on the link as it came from my good mate on msn

Thank GOD i have kaspersky who quickly picked it up and slapped the shit out of it.

most of my gay mates have got that virus. Too quick at clicking on Links before opening them...

Ive got a really good spyware programme which also whacks Trojans/pests up the mooey before they get anywhere near my machine!
