Warning guys - MSN is being BUGGED.

You may be in a convo with someone, who then suddenly changes font to have your font and asks to send you a photo that they took yesterday. Whatever you do, DO NOT ACCEPT the photo as this is a virus, someone is trying to destroy your hard drive.

>Insert name here< would like to send you the file "PIC1324(2)(1).exe" (49 Kb). Transfer time is less than 1 minute with a 28.8 modem. Do you want to Accept (Alt+T) or Decline (Alt+D) the invitation?

Just a word of warning, take care, and be careful!!!

Someone was talking about their picture when I was offered it so I downloaded it.

All it is is the "annoying worm".
It started repeating conversations in MSN.

My hard drive was unnaffected although this might be because Norton zapped it the next day.

Once I got a proggy called Hello.exe and it disabled my mouse. I asked them how to fix it and they were very cruel. I had to restore my computer!!!

still.. the idea of being about to crack open a huge gap in MSN is brilliant (in the hacking/evil sense)... If i were that good at coding I'd be far far away on a private beach!

It's a rubbish conversation, but it's cunning yes, so don't accept.

Good way to get rid of someone in your convo though!

"Hey, you want my pic?
I took it yesterday"

">insert name of hated person> has left the conversation"

"woohoo"

This already has happened to me, someone I didn't know had the same font as me(in the same colour) and aked me to accept a photo. I didn't of course.
