5:35:47 PM [c=55]charlie[/c]: idk
5:35:55 PM [c=55]charlie[/c]: its ben going on sence yesterday
5:36:00 PM Noah Radding: thats not good
5:36:13 PM Noah Radding: should probably check that out...
5:36:18 PM Noah Radding: good thing im not in windows
5:37:07 PM [c=55]charlie[/c]: well i got norton anti-virus and i reinstalled windows and its still going on
as he said he has norton and reisntalled the whole OS
any idea what's going on? i'd rather unblock him (i blocked him as a security measure for my windows)
-
he downloaded a mod to his MSN and it was a virus apparently, or he's screwing with yeah
-
i know a few people that have this, but they dont know its happened, bascially, a file transfer comes up
it says "man, you gotta tell me why i lol'ed so hard at these pictures"
one time, i accepted it, but nod32 just slapped it in the face and made it go.
-
i had sumet like this you need to use an anti spyware tool like adaware to detect and remove the automessager
-
yeah the problem got fixed...though some others were affected
-
I'd just completely uninstall MSN, as im guessing he didnt do a wipe install? Just an overlay
-
not sure :/
-
yeah he was sending it to me also, it had a few different versions to it. facebook, myspace, lol'ing...
i didnt believe them
they were in files like
"pic515_JpG.exe and
^ with difft numbers
i was saying if its a file that needed to be opened in winrar, then its more then just a picture
apparently it got nic0, but he got it fixed

JEEZ, HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO POST THIS LINK?!
Spybot Search and Destroy works great, and best thing is, it's free!
safer-networking.org (http://safer-networking.org)
I set it up to autoscan at 3 AM, and it automatically updates for me, and it immunizes IE and helps protect FF! It's great! :tup:
-
noah i got this from my friend zomg...... but it was on my parents mac.......... and wether i like to say it or not it seems alright what should i do i moved it to trash and dumped it is that enough im gonna fricken backshmack the chick who gave it to me. Why do people not just close down msn when theyre done. :(
