IMPORTANT - Virus Threat to MSN Messenger Users.........

My cousin has it. The damn thing keeps trying to send it to me....and why doesn't that article mention how to get rid of it? Rawr.

Thanks for that warning Leo, I'm an avid user of msn, so I was straight here when I saw your post...........

No worries, Kitty.

This is certainly one to watch as it appears now that this may have been around for a few weeks now and is really gathering in pace around the world.

Bebi, Someone has put up a cure for the Trojan on Neowin - Look at post #6. BUT ANOTHER USER STATES THAT NOD HAS PICKED THAT FIX UP AS A TROJAN - NOT SURE IF I AM READING IT RIGHT    ANYWAY HERES THE LINK TO THE POST ON NEOWIN LINKWWW Link

I've just read the posts again and it appears that someone is saying the fix put up by the poster is another virus !!!!!!

Zubaz huggles Trillian

bilbo huggles nod32

  Ditto

iolo antivirus here....yay for me huh for you that know.   

bilbo/vStyler or anyone for that matter.......Have you upgraded to the new ESET Security Suite yet? I'm going to change to ESET NOD when my Norton Internet Security expires but I hear the new Security Suite is having a few headaches. Anyone have any feedback?

Hi Leo!
Nod32 the best choice, i think..
Never seen prob with that..
Eset security: one pack with nod32+ firewall+ spamfilter.
On my xp: use kerio personal firewall+ nod32.
On my vista: just use nod, there not need firewall..
(im browsing behind the router, built-in firewall)
Im use nod four years, never was viri on my hdd.
Use more, gmail spamfilter on web, that work for me..
(gmail use own built-in virusdetector indeed)
Nod run very small memory, faster than others.
On my workstation pc was norton too, but once i say my own, trying nod there too.
Result: was 6 activ viri..
hehe (that pc was very slow, don't know why )
Maybe others tell u another..thats the truth.
So, if u want new security suite, my vote Eset.

Yep! I use NOD32 also, never had a problem with viruses!

Thanks, guys.....really appreciate the feedback. ESET certainly seems to be the one to go for although I want the Security Suite which was only released a few weeks ago so I think I'll wait a while till they iron out any issues.

Practise 'safe computing'....

Yeah but we're talking about my 13 year old cousin here. >_< I asked her if she had downloaded anything without knowing what it was...and she was like "no...." Their computer picks up every nasty on the internet, last time I scanned it, it had like 500 trojans/malware/other junk (spybot scan), and 300+ something virii in an AVG scan. My uncle had to do a disc restore (prebuilt machine) to get rid of everything. And now...she has this new monster, gah!
