IMPORTANT MSN VIRUS INFO PLEASE READ

[Urchin]

In light of recent events I think its important everyone knows about this.

If someone on your msn send you the message

tell me is this really you ? - photogallery.gigacities.net/[email protected]

Your email will be on the end, making it look like a photo of you or someone pretending to be you has been posted somewhere.

DO NOT CLICK! It's a virus!

yes, thats been making the rounds for a while now.

i was always getting sent them, and saw it for what it was

And quite a nasty one at that. It'll spam anyone on your userlist.

Also the wording has been slightly different on occasion. I had one friend on MSN appear to say they had found this pic of me online and thought I should know about it. Needless to say it was a virus

Of course, being on Linux OS and not using Windows these things don't affect me in the least. But anyone on Windows who opens this file will be stuffed.

 

[Kelly G]

Yep we have been getting that one too

oooh i've never heard of that before.. thanks for letting me know cos I would of clicked on it

I got this virus and it was a NIGHTMARE to get rid off, avast and such WILL NOT BEABLE TO PICK IT UP


If any body did get this file through MSN, here's a utility you can use, the file is not actually a virus, it's a utility aka " PsKill ", used for terminating system process by remote, info on this file here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb896683.aspx.

So most AntiVirus software won't pick this up.

Download MsnCleaner.zip to your Desktop, but don't use it yet.

http://www.forospyware.com/Msncleaner/MsnCleaner.zip

* Extract the content of MsnCleaner.zip to your Desktop.
* Now reboot into Safe Mode
* Double-click MsnCleaner.exe to run it.
* Click the Analyze button.
* A report will be created once after you finish scan.
* If it finds an infection, click the Deleted button.
* Now, please reboot back to normal mode.

Hope this helps...
