Who knows about this virus going round on msn? It's like, I send a .zip file to someone and say: Hey, this is a funny pic, look at it! Then you accept the zip file and open it... and it's a virus... but I didnt send it, someone's accesed one of my friends accounts, then sent it to me. I opened it, thinking it was good, then I keep sending it to people... then they're gona send it to people... and so on, and so on.

So if you're on MSN, and you get a message like this (not nessescarily this):

Quote:BobJohnSmithe says:
  I think I found your picture on myspace! Have a look
BobJohnSmithe says:
  BobJohnSmithe has sent you a .zip file, click here to accept, here to deny!

Always click deny, coz it's not him sending it, it's a hacker!

Really old. Never accept anything on MSN unless you're deep in conversation with the person and they're talking about the said file.. that should be a minimum requirement really. People fall for those "naked pics of me" shit all the time. They end up getting fucked. :+

I never even allow people that I don't know to my friends list.
I only do so if they told me in person that they would.

btw, how can a zip file deploy a virus? did you open a file inside that archive?

Its quite obvious if he's sending a picture in a zipped file.. :/

1. You can send pictures without any zip/rar
2. No1 actually haves a pic in a zip or rar or .exe 

so its pretty obvious when someone's trying to give you a virus.

Althought, I've been hit once, when someone gave me a 'GTA mod' and I opened it -> kaboom.

Also one other thing: If you get a message like: Hey, this guy looks like you <address>

Do not open it. thats a virus too.

In my eyes MSN is already a virus, all it can do is annoy me.
So my pc never boots it anyway.
