Everyone, be careful! There's a MSN virus about

Hey all, just thought I'd advise you all to be vigilent.

A few minutes ago I received a message from a friend (who was obviously infected with this virus) asking me to check out a really funny link.
I clicked it, and loads of msn windows started opening.

I soon realised that the link was a virus. The link was to a website, which address I cannot remember, but the filename was:

Cute.pif

Anyway - this has effected a lot of people on my msn list - and is spreading extremely quickly. Has this happened to anyone else?
I have Norton AV and Firewall 2004 with the latest definitions, and it found nothing on my pc - nor did Microsoft AntiSpyware.

Could this be a new virus to which the virus definitions are unknown by the virus scanners?

Re: Everyone, be careful! There's a MSN virus about

I received that too but, without meaning to echo the above posters, i was neither drunk enough nor sufficiently lacking in my faculties to click on it.

I did proceed to tell the half-dozen people i received it from what complete and utter ****wits they were however.

Re: Everyone, be careful! There's a MSN virus about

I got the link this morning.

My suspicions were first raised by the fact that the person sending this said "omg this is funny!" (note the abbreviation and lack of capital letter).

This to me seemed odd, as, by and large, he is not the kind of person who indulges in such frivolity.

Then I noticed the time the message was sent. 00:00. Significant? And the date? 07/03/2005?

I knew it must be a sign of the growing illuminati hold over our lives.

I sprung into action. Gathering up my loved ones, I stuffed them into the back of a van, which I promptly sent over a cliff. Better to die quickly now than live in endless pain under the illuminated ones.

After this, I ran into the center of Cambridge, and dug up the supply of AK47's that some wag had buried under Sydney's lawn at the end of the Civil War. Now armed to the teeth, I made my way to city hall, where one shot later the mayor, and the illuminati control over the town was gone.

The only person left to "remove" was the university Vice Chancellor. Get rid of Alison Richard, and the city would be free forever.

Unfortunately, the Illuminati had mobilized. On the way there, I was accosted by a group of policemen, who babbled something about several counts of murder. Ignoring these obviously phoney charges, I shot the policeman, and moved on. Just as I was reaching my destination, the sinister overlords decided to step up their campaign. An armed response unit swarmed out from The Senate House, and they, with the help of some kind of gas, took me down.

They threw me in a cell, and told me I was "going down" for a long time. I pleaded with them to see reason, but they couldn't see past the trumped up murder charges, so in my cell I remained.

Using my phone call, I connected to the internet, to warn the world of the coming peril. So here I am.

Get out of England, GDers! Get out while you still can!

Re: Everyone, be careful! There's a MSN virus about

there's another cute one going round to do with paypal.

the email comes from [email protected] and says that there have been some attempts to access your paypal account unsuccesfully from an unregistered IP address. If you have been connecting to your account from abroad then don't worry, but otherwise click the link below to view the IP addresses and your account status.

Now I don't have a paypal account.... I dread to think what information that link is after

That would be phishing. Now bearing in mind we should all be getting at least one a day of those advising us our security details have been compromised at <insert well known bank here>, regardless of whether we hold an account there, 99% of people should now know to ignore those.

mmm agreed, except the email address is obviously well done on this one, and the link posted looked like an extension of the paypal site itself. but yes in essence it's just a very very well written phish.

Its just a copycat program of the phishing scams from all the major bank websites. Most fraudsters are now aware that Paypal has a massive userbase and a good portion of those have bank accounts or credit card details attached to their accounts.

As such, it was a logical progression.

If you get emails like that , report them to [email protected] , youll get an automated response, then theyll do nothing about it and blame you if you made the mistake of giving them your details.

Re: Everyone, be careful! There's a MSN virus about

They key thing I've always been told to look out for with paypal ones is that a real email from them will say 'Dear <Your real name here>' Whereas fake ones will say Dear paypal member or Dear <your paypal username>

All the ones I've seen have had this basic indicator.

No , the key to it is that paypal will NEVER send you an email asking you for your details, or telling you theres a problem with your account.

Nor will your bank.

Re: Everyone, be careful! There's a MSN virus about

I was told this MSN gadget wreaks total havoc on active directory servers. As in near unreapairable.

Anyway there's gotta be a good fix by now.

This to me seemed odd, as, by and large, he is not the kind of person who indulges in such frivolity.

Then I noticed the time the message was sent. 00:00. Significant? And the date? 07/03/2005?

I knew it must be a sign of the growing illuminati hold over our lives.

I sprung into action. Gathering up my loved ones, I stuffed them into the back of a van, which I promptly sent over a cliff. Better to die quickly now than live in endless pain under the illuminated ones.

After this, I ran into the center of Cambridge, and dug up the supply of AK47's that some wag had buried under Sydney's lawn at the end of the Civil War. Now armed to the teeth, I made my way to city hall, where one shot later the mayor, and the illuminati control over the town was gone.

The only person left to "remove" was the university Vice Chancellor. Get rid of Alison Richard, and the city would be free forever.

Unfortunately, the Illuminati had mobilized. On the way there, I was accosted by a group of policemen, who babbled something about several counts of murder. Ignoring these obviously phoney charges, I shot the policeman, and moved on. Just as I was reaching my destination, the sinister overlords decided to step up their campaign. An armed response unit swarmed out from The Senate House, and they, with the help of some kind of gas, took me down.

They threw me in a cell, and told me I was "going down" for a long time. I pleaded with them to see reason, but they couldn't see past the trumped up murder charges, so in my cell I remained.

Using my phone call, I connected to the internet, to warn the world of the coming peril. So here I am.

Get out of England, GDers! Get out while you still can!
That is utterly outstanding.

Perhaps the best post ever, but knowing you, thats actually the best thing you've ever said.

Whenever's there's something wrong with your account it's been my experience that the bank just gives you a "charge" and it's up to you to realise something's wrong because money is missing from your account and go and get in touch with them.

Dace is correct in this case

I sincerely doubt you could since hes most likely part of an organised crime gang that earns a lot of money in an Eastern European country where extradition agreeements dont mean shit.

Or an African that youd never find in a million years of searching.
