Malware Virus

[Twisted67]

Hi to all,
I've been off the net for a few days after receiving a malware virus similar to this below.:eek:
http://www.symantec.com/norton/security_response/malware.jsp

Just thought i would let everyone know what actually happend so you can avoid this in the future.

I received a link from a mate off facebook the other night and opened it thinkin it there was nothin to worry about.All of a sudden the computer went all funny on the screen and i couldnt close the attachment.
I disconected from the net and took the bettery out to shut the system down then my mate scotty reformatted the whole computer,luckerly i dont have much on the computer its all stored on my external hard drives.
So the virus can come in from an email,facebook or myspace but the attachment will be numbered so if you see somethin sent to with this DONT open it!!

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Not opening anything from Facebook -even real links is smart. :p
Honestly, I don't find it at all intersting, all the trivial crappola of FB and MySpace and others like it that some people are so obsessed with.

My Outlook's deleted folder is filled with unopened emails everyday. Constantly bombarded with virus' and Viagra.
Seriously, what flaccid moron would buy Viagra from an email spammer?
Probably end up with a packet of TicTacs. :D
