MSN and "omg this is so funny"

Post by Go Guns »

Hey, Anybody else getting spammed with this. People on your contact list send you this message "omg this is so funny" with link that leads you to a .pif file?

Yup, I'm getting that a lot on MSN also. It will install all sorts of nasty spyware on your system, and it will send the same message to every person on your MSN contact list.

Avoid it like the plague and email whoever sent it to you to tell them they should clean their computer and avoid MSN until it's clean.

Anything with a .pif don't touch it. I click on it, but didn't save it once I realized that it was a .pif, don't know if it had any effect.
