Re: Computer virus


Worse virus I ever got was through msn

I was chatting to someone and a picture file came through from another friend on my contact list, so thinking nothing of it I opened it. Straight away my computer went barmy and I found out afterwards as soon as I opened it it sent itself to everyone on my email list, people like me thought nothing of it and opened it infecting there PC's too.

I havn't really used msn since

Re: Computer virus


I got one through msn the other day. I thought it was frm my step daugher but it was actually a virus, I opened it and thank heavens for ZoneAlarm, it wouldn't let me, said it was a virus! First time I've had that happen so I'm being very vigilant now.
