Beware of the virus!

[Caius]

Its spread for MSN.

Every minute, the guy with the virus send you the following message: (This is spanish)

Hola,

Espero que te gusten las fotos

Me las saque ayer y

an .rar file called fotos_posse

BEWARE!I didnt opened it and this seems to be spreading very faster.
Thank you for reading this.

Yes, my brother clicked on this link and it is a trojan that attaches itself to your Messenger.exe. It does some weird things. We had to completely uninstall MSN, install a new one and put on heaps more virus protection, as well as download heaps of newer signature files.

Wow, shame you didnt were protected...

I was going to open it, but the first time it was send by someone that never talks to me, then a second person send that me too.So I guessed that was a virus.

What does it do?I mean, the weird things

It's a high-level Orgah conspiracy...

**look at mods**

Viruses like that spread about all the time. They're evil...

There was another one a while back that sent a message something like "mira las fotos" and then downloaded a program called "foto.exe". You don't need to guess what that was... Many of these msn trojans seem to be targeted at the latin american spanish speaking users. The message tend to interrupt a conversation you're having with a contact to try and trick you into thinking the contact is sendin them, but it's usually spread by the trojan being on your contact's msn program. Personally I don't use msn these days, but when I did I used an open source program called gaim as my msn client.

I don't know. It popped a couple of exes up on the desktop. It does this whenever Messenger.exe is triggered. Then our virus contained it, but couldn't cure it. So I don't know exactly what it did, just that it infected some System32 files.

Argentinians speccially have more contacts than other people.Thats why.

[Marius Dynamite]

How many contacts do Argentinians have?

[Mikeus Caesar]

How many contacts do Argentinians have?

Over 9000.

[Marius Dynamite]

Over 9000.

Really?

I could only get about 150 max 2 years ago then it wouldn't let me add anymore. Since then they put it to unlimited I think. My friends have I think between 1200 - 1500. I got 600. :-(

The guy also tried to give me the file, although I knew it wasn't him when he was speaking Spanish, a language I know he knows I don't know

So after about 20 minutes of a message/minute I blocked him.

[Caius]

Over 9000.

Im not sure, but i think that cuantity(sp?) is wrong.
