"MSN Messenger Security Thing?"

Just got forwarded this on msn telling me up update my msn messenger against some trojany whatever. Linking me to:

http://msnupdate.qn.com/

The "QN" made me suspicious.

I dont think it's a real MSN page. Also the 'update' file is hosted at:

http://home.earthlink.net/~marchetto/

A free hosting site


Seems rather hoaxy.

.exe files are bad.

Die files die.

Yeah

That virus was passed around - I thought someone was sending me a file - not a randomly passed on virus

Grrrr

Then it passes on to all of your online contacts

:(

But that was weeks ago

:)

They'll have to change the source code of the virus then and re-infect everyone.

Tut tut.

It'll be back up with a new redirect soon enough.

The website, or at least the reidrect has been shut down now.


Hurrah.

Yus t'is hoaxy.

Mcafee cleaned it straight away and is scanning away now.

It opens convo's up with everyone and sends them the link. Meh, can't believe I fell for it.

I just got it twice from my cousin, who claims he never sent me anything. He's probably been infected. Anywhoo my AVG should keep me out of harms way.

I'll rumble you all throughout the night.

Ride me, hobo.

Get away from me you lepper.
