The site was made in december, but the last posts are recent, so Im guessing they havent found anything to stop it yet.

It just came through to me from another friend's msn, so if anything like this happens....dont install lol. The bastard logs you out and doesnt let you log in, and stuff.....

You would get a message similar to this:

"check out these pics on myspace http:// p1392.pic-myspace.info "

sent from one of your contacts.

DONT CLICK THE LINK mad.gif

If you click it, it will download a .exe to your computer, as far as I know it will be harmless until you actually open and install it.. unsure.gif But I wouldnt take that chance wink.gif

If you do install (like me...*kicks self*) there will be a bunch of crap in your c: and in your program files, mine had a folder called ipwins, also ctrl alt del and remove any programs like ipwins or whatever foreign crap is in there.

I will kill these sonsofbitches... dry.gif

[edit] I ran spyware doctor and ad aware this morning, cleaned out all the crap, ran it again just now and its already picked up a shitload of crap...

I got these messages from a few people on my contact list a few months ago.
I didnt really like the person so i didnt tell them they had a virus smile.gif

You should prolly do a complete reinistall to be safe smile.gif
