    i dont know if this has been posted before but i was searching for some invsionfree skins and i saw this

    t has come to my attention that there is a new MSN virus going around.
    It sends an automated message that it appears that your friend sent.
    I am pretty sure it is a virus, but I haven't clicked on it, but it seems really really suspicious.

    It appears as this:

    Find out who's blocking you on MSN, Download it free from
    Code:
    [url]http://www[/url]. block-checker.com

    Don't click on the link people!!! It looks bogus!!!

    Be careful, and don't click on anything that you don't trust on MSN.

    here is the link

    Look at the bottom of this page for removal instructions. ~ Prodigy

    Here's what you do.

    Get Microsoft Antispyware. It won't pick it up in a regular scan. Nothing will. It's too new.

    Go to Advanced Tools/Advanced Options. Can't remember which one it is.

    Go to Running Processes, and PERMANENTLY BLOCK the Block Checker.exe process and the fake CSRSS process. You'll know it's a fake because it's not in the System32 directory, but in the Block Checker folder.

    Go to System Startup and repeat.

    Your computer is now spyware-free. :)
