Default New MSN Virus/Hack - PLEASE READ.....

I'm getting a message from someone I know in my MSN list with a link, the MSN message is as follows :-

www .free-offers-for-you.com (and then a 'wink' Smilie) - DONT CLICK THIS LINK!!!!

If you get one, this is a hack, don't click it.

Theres another going round aswell, like randomly you may get a message from someone saying something like "check out my sexy pic" followed by a zip file, DONT download it, its a trojan virus and will then send its self to every one on your list.

might be thinking course i wont accept random files, but when its from a mate you'd be surprised what some people do

There's another one going round too, called dream01.zip.

The annoying thing is that MSN just picks on random names to send it to from your contact list

AFPMSL. Where have you been??!!

MSN is just a communications tool. Kids do use it, but so do proper grown-ups!!

A good way of talking to people if you cant be arsed to ring them. If you've had enough, you can just walk away, unlike a telephone conversation.

No you can just add friends/family and then when your on the pc sign into msn and then they can see if your online and vice versa then send messages in real time, or send files etc, get with the times
