There's a url that's getting sent from MSN user to MSN user right now.
It gets sent with the phrase "omg this is so funny 'url.'"
I was stupid and clicked on it because it was from a friend. Stupid... Even stupider that I decided to open the file.
By doing that, it made my MSN freeze, then send that message and url to everyone online on my contact list.
It's spreading right now.
The message takes on the font color and style of the sender, so it blends in. It ends in a gif or pif file extension or something and has the word "cute" in it.
Just be careful of this thing in particular, and of those urls in general. =/
It seems to be a torjan virus.
Scanning now...

Ack, I don't use MSN, but that's so annoying. Why do people do stuff like this? They must be really bored... need to join a sport or something...

Or people who's work they want discussed all over the internet.
Anyways, here is Symantec's info about it Click no Jutsu!
To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescense. - C.S. Lewis

I was probably lucky. Trend Micro sent out an alert about some new outbreaks this morning, so my updates were taken care of right off the bat. Then I also have Outlook, which will not download certain file types, a software firewall trained to look at incoming packets, and on top of that a firewall router that has NAT/SPI protection. Also lucky that my ISP puts anything suspicious in Bulk Mail that I have to check by loggng into SBC Yahoo.
But I guess I'll have to be careful since my dad and I send each other URLs all the time...

Life can be so tough. Sometimes tears are the only remedy for me. I don't know about anyone else, but for me, talking with someone usually helps^^ So if there is someone who is having a hard time coping with life, please don't hesitate to tell someone~
Always remember, there is God who loves you and there is at least one other person as well~
