msn virus
anybody got the msn virus that says "hey, is this you?" followed by a link
I downloaded it, and realized it was an MSDOS application. So naturally I didn't want to open it. I right clicked on it and meant to click scan with AVG, but I clicked 'open'. Doh.
Anyways, now I have the <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurfer</span>! and it's not recognized by my anti-virus. Anybody have this/ know what to do?

I fixed it by terminating the application, and deleting any files that started with msms% . Which effectively disabled windows & msn messenger. I then removed the messenger from the control panel, and deleted the left over folders. Emptied the recylcle bin, did a reboot.
Everything now seems to work fine. Hopefully it is gone.

Haha, that reminds me of the cookie virus, one of the first wide-spread internet viruses. It would cause your computer to pop-up an alert box every 20 minutes or so with the caption "Give me a cookie" and an "OK" button. Man, was that a pointless virus.ericburnard wrote:LMAO i want it just to see what its like loltheda wrote:I had a virus once... and only once. All it did was cause every keystroke to print out "I love stinky underwear."
