VIRUSY THING

WARNING to all you MSN Messanger users out there. there is a bad thing going around. It is a file (a .pif file) that if you except and run, will from what i can tell, close all you conversations, and not allow you to open those conversations again. it will also disable your right (or left for you backwards people) mouse button. but the most annoying thing is that it offers to all the people who are online at the time. im not sure if it does anything else, and norton doesnt seem to recognize it so im not exactly sure what it is. but it is a .pif file (like I said) and it is a "shortcut to MS-DOS program" so its got the MS-DOS logo thing (see above). it has at least 2 names, drunk_lol and webcam_004. BAD. DO NOT EXCEPT. and sorry to you if i sent it to you and you accepted and made your computer funny. oops.

Talked to some people and word on the street that restarting and deleteing the file is about all it takes. I think it one of those '|00k @+ M3 iM 3|i+3, i c@n cr3@t @ pr09r@M =h@+ c@n $pr3@d by +h3 ph@i+h 0ph huM@n$ @nd wi|| @nn0y p30p|3 +h3 w)r|d 0v3r' things. so from what i hear, it is annoying but shouldnt have any long term affects.

Ya, still not exactly sure about this thing, but my roomate had a norton popup thing saying he had a virus today, and it was the drunk_lol thing again, so it could be a lingering thing.
