I was talking to Spider earlier, when suddenly, on my screen, popped 'Would you like to accept the file 'shoot George Bush'. I clicked no, since it sounds carp. Then down the bottom of the window appeared '[email protected] and Spider are typing'.
'How could this be' I thought - I was only in a conversation with Spider, and no one else. Then I was bombarded be loads of ;) (winky) faces from Spider. I demanded Spider to tell me what he was doing, but he said he knew nothing, and that he could not see the winky faces.

I think this happened to me once before Spider.

My guess is that is a virus. When you run it it tries to send itself to others via MSN, and then annoys the heck out of you.

Am I right? Has anybody else experienced it?

Is it just me or is everything that contains the word microsoft poorly created. There seems to be loads of bugs,missing code,viruses. Surely with all his money Mr gates would be able to make a piece of software that actualy did its job properly without all these hassles.

Spider - how come you are now Spider 2001, and not Spider II?

As i recall Spider 2001 was the annoying, pointless post Spider, worse than Spider II.



You can't help this virus spreading. It automatically send itself to everyone online, whether you like it or not.
