New Virus (spreading fast)

[laxman]

This virus is mostly on aim (Aol Instant Messanger) some creep out there made it and sent it to a a bunch of people. Now over 30 people I know have it. It is a message that will probably be sent to you eventually if you have aim and it will say (click this it's really cool) or any variation of that. If you didn't know about this then you will probably click it, and then you are infected. Once the virus is in your computer it automatically send that same message with the virus to everyone on your buddy list without you knowing a thing. If you now about this and you did click it then DONT go on aim anymore until you get rid of the virus. I recomend Norton Antivirus 2005 <<<<best thing out there.

NOD32 > Avast > Symantec Corporate > Panda > Norton > Mcafee

IMO

I used to rock Avast, it's a great proggy... I'm running AVG now just to give it a shot.

 

[Dav0s]

Its a very very good free (I think) AV proggie that is highly reccomended by anyone who uses it.

My CA Tust EZ Firewall/AV is prettty good. Computer Associates are a trusted brand....

they wount be random people, they will probably be from your friends, or someone. because in order to get sent the virus you have to be on the persons buddy list that is infected.

That's why u CHECK all links before clicking on them

 

[NickS]

Exactly.

Hah back to that virus, I know that thing, its a MS-DOS that auto types things such as "Look at my new pictures (link)" then it will try to auto download the file and execute. First of all there is no image file formatt that is MS-DOS so you have to be and idiot to install it, second even if you have to download anything I wouldnt trust it. Oh and this is my 100th post go me!
