MSN Photo Virus

2 / 04 / 2008 · 2 comments ·

Lately I realized that life for the poor Windows users is not so simple, especially for people with MSN (or Windows Live Messenger, Oh well). There's this very deep virus that spreads through MSN, which takes its toll everywhere.

But I wonder:
is so difficult to notice that:

  1. if you write in English and sent a rar file renamed in English there is probably something behind? (unless the friend who sends you a foreigner, here is bad luck if combined with distraction)
  2. a photo takes up about 100KB but not many many more, and then travel pictures though many tablets will occupy more than (on the order of megabytes)?
  3. it takes to make a mini scansioncina before you open that file? (which will be suspicious by nature, but when I was on Win a scan to files that I thought I could always unsafe)
  4. but I would say that this is sending me photos, acceptances etc. .. and not write anything in the meantime? like, "Why do not you send her that I never asked?

Oh well, it will be that for me these are basic things and I do not own capacity (also because I do not come anyway hit by the virus : D ).

And then the thing that makes me laugh most is when people ask me: "And what do I do??"

and that you wish to leave the virus on your pc to proliferate and I recommend it infects everyone but its all your contacts which in turn infect others ... it is the fashion of the moment, if you do not have the virus in six out your personal collection.

Ok, so when Acidum. If someone inadvertently takes the advice is always that virus to get into Windows Safe Mode and make a good scan with an antivirus and an anti-spyware program (I recommend spybot search & destroy). I also recommend this tool that I discovered recently to help a friend and that has worked well.

    then I have 13 years. ... I do the same things you did to each file you scan sopsetto
    however, since even one of my contact has the virus and I had the virus without knowing that I noticed on the ground that what the hell does a photo to weigh only 13 kb?? Anke or 80kb?
