Wow..thanks for the warning. I have been getting a lot of 'new version update' messages...but I've been leaving them off, because the last time I downloaded a new version it screwed up MSN, and I couldn't sign in. Nothing like what you're saying, though.
Did you download a beta msn? It was a virus, my friend got it. I think it was a msnbeta8 virus or something like that.
Msn's protection is worthless, I have 5 firewall systems, spyware, malware removers and it still didn't help. But, I got rid of it easily after some work. I was just mad when I posted it :)
That's total balls. I'm always weary whenever having to deal with AIM or YIM just because of how susceptible they both are with virus/random bugs. I wonder if it would be helpful to just switch to using some sort of multi IM program like Trillian?
Regardless, don't lose too many hairs while reinstalling your programs!
Haha, damn right! The messengers, are sitting ducks for viruses. So, I put in a couple of back ups for mine yesterday just in case someone has the fortitude to try and infect me again. For now, I'm free of the bugs. I got everything cleaned!
I think I'm going to download Trillian, from what I heard it isn't as vunerable as the 'big three.'
Well, I didn't lose any hair, but the may have turned prematurely grey :)
I know! I said to another Lj friend...'it wasn't msn. rather, a no good idiot who lives in a basement with his mother, and has nothing better to do with his life than to generate a virus.' Lemme add to that...'who has never had a date in his life, got beaten up in highschool, and makes great use of his pocket protector.' He is a bitter, bitter man!
I update b/c I have to. Msn makes me :( I fixed the problem though and am currently virus free!!!
rofl, i couldnt have put it better myself. really pee's me off.
and i downloaded a program ages ago that stopped msn asking me to upgrade =3 mess.be or something, cant really remember. have the urge to upgrade now tho haha xx

You could totally kick it's ass. You should street fight the virus, and use brass knuckles!
