Msn Spyware

Post by Doin »

Just to alert you MSN Messenger users that there is some sort of spyware going round that sends messages to your MSN contacts, without your knowledge, telling them to click on a certain site. I think it's called www.freefree25free.com or something like that.

I just got rid of it, but if you get any strange messages like that from you MSN contacts, delete it.

a lot of friends of mine got that and i was getting messages from them telling me to click this link (dunno if it is the same one)
but anyways, that link contained a windows executer (.exe), but fortunately i dont have windows so i cant run those annoying little things :lol:

I saw something like this before a few years back. Its not MSN's fault, its a 3rd party virus. And is as annoying as hell!!!
