    Everyone becareful there is a msn virus circulating, from what I understand is when you are talking to a friend that has it on the computer it will send you a attachment that looks like this: "http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?act=(your e-mail address)" If you click on it, it will then attach it's self to your computer and start sending it to everyone you talk to. I assume it is just some sort of spam virus seeing as how I scanned everything with norton and mcaffee and nothing comes up.

    that first virus is called sumom.a or .c, theres different endings. i used to ahve it and it caused uber hell on my pc. my pc is still not as it was. the virus disabled all virus software, disabled task manager, closed down any sites related to removind viruses. you couldnt chat on MSN. it was so bad.

    Its a old virus - It started to come with i think ver7.0 - Attachments being sent by the contact to other contacts on the list named as different filenames - BUT they still aint fixed it atm :D ANyways even tho I already kno this :D i appreciate ur warning

    And people get a virus scanner before its too late and build it into MSN messenger for scanning the files when ur contact sends it u
