browniebaobao SG

DO NOT RECEIVE FILE "FUNNY.EXE' FROM ANYONE!!! IT'S A VIRUS!!! IF U KENA, TELL EVERYONE TO IGNORE WHATEVER FILE YOU SEND TO THEM!!! THIS IS NO JOKE!!!

Pasei DA~ I think it's better to let everyone know about this and prevent it from spreading. Duno details about it yet. But please please please dun ever accept this "funny" thingy from anyone.

What happened to me is that my classmate sent it to me (she dinoe about it too)..and I accepted, opened up..and it automatically sent to all my contacts without me knowing as well. And that's the problem...Argh!!

huh? how its spread thru email ? Shocked

browniebaobao SG

spread thru MSN...instant chat..the moment the person goes online...it just caught him/her off guard..send to whoever is online...so if there are 30 contacts online...30 will receive that file..but if he happens to stop in time..perhpas only the first few on the list will get it..

i tot this virus been around for a long time already ?? Shocked But anway, don't accept files from friends on your msn without asking them first what it is.

If your pc infected already, then clean it as soon as possible. Update your anti-virus also. If cannot delete, try TheCleaner. Might be helpful Wink . Get it here TheCleaner

browniebaobao SG

long time?

My fren tried the instructions given on symantec..and said it got his pc worse instead...

should i trust this cleaner?

Anyway thanks for the info!

good time to promote awareness.

before accepting a file, ask what it is. at least this way, u can minimize instances like this, where the user unknowingly sends the file (meaning the virus sends it for you)

chillz88 SG

U sure can trust TheCleaner ... It detect some spyware/trojans in my comp before ... Wink Anyway, I read reviews on Symantec/Norton on many websites. Lots of them give the thumb down to Norton/Symantec Anti Virus. Try using other anti virus instead. I myself hate using Norton.

GrimR SG

Shouldn't updating virus definitions solve the prob Question

eutjin SG

what if it's a very very new virus?
