Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Someone on MSN sent me this: by the way if flino@hotmail.com adds you on msn, dont accept. Its an avanced virus that begins to slowly remove your documents then goes out to all your hard drives. Send this to all people online in your msn list i remember seeing something like this b4 and reading it was a fake, someone trying to **** someone else off... or along those lines... anyone have any info? tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

empty Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 roflmfao, thats so fake i dont know where to begin. Its essentially saying that when MSN asks if you want to let someone on your list its transmitting a virus so the virus would therefore be msn which it isnt. Fake.

Shadrack Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 yeah, that is obviously from some ****** who just wants to create spam across the network. Anybody who tells you to forward such a message to everyone on your list, is obviously trying to just create spam. Don't take any message/email seriously unless it has a pretty solid URL you can trust. [edit] What? I can't say wanke2? Thats not a *gasp* bad word. I think we should be able to say *gasp* bad words.

Terminator Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Its something to do for people who get bored on the internet and can't think what else to do!!! :crazy: Its a like those e-mails that you get that say if you don't foward this to 10 billion people your hotmail account will be deleted, etc. Ummmm right like i'm going to believe that. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 OMG I have to forward an email to 10 billion people in my hotmail account :unsure: Starts spamming Everyone on the Internet :laugh: heh Instead of making false threats, let's actually do some damage :p Perhaps it should go something like this: If you have recently used msn messenger, you may have noticed a folder in windows named system32, this is just a bunch of spyware created in the process, and is safe to delete :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 hehe... if your computer tries to resist by saying the files are important, ignore it. The virus tags the files to make them "necessary" however they are not. If possible, dual boot from a different hard disk and delete the files from there... hehe, tom please, dont believe me!

BTallack Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I remember this as a chain letter in the early days of ICQ. I also remember telling all my friends to stop sending me pointless chain messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTallack Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 For the sake of those who don't know an don't want to do it to find out, what is that going to do? :huh: That will close your current application. Alt-F4 is the exit program shortcut. "Deltree C:\ /y" will delete everything on your hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
