MSN Virus
I think theres a new virus going round on msn, two people (lone wolf and Derek to be exact  ) both opened conversations with me saying "look at these old pics of us i found" and since it was the 2nd time lone wolf did it i accpeted it...and when i unzipped it and tried to click on the picture all hell broke loose =/ and like conversation windows started opening and closing left right and center so i terminated the power as soon as possible.
Just a warning to everyone out there, and if you see anything like it DO NOT accept it and run a virus scan ASAP.

So does that mean it only happens when you open the file?

Well, I'm already good. It was nothing real major, but thanks for the concern AG. Hinds said that I tried to send him a file, but the transfer terminated before it was complete because I immediately turned off my computer since it was going wacko. Doesn't really matter, becaause I was already planning to wipe my computer as soon as I find the OS Disc.
The question is... Who started the chain?
