Hey guys i would like to express my cencere apologises to everyone who recieved the link from my msn address tonight what happened was completely out of my hands, i receieved a link that did have my full name on it the i recieved this from a friend as anyone would do i downloaded it and bang it sent itself to everyone who was logged in on my msn contact list. As it turns out my computer needs a full rebuilt as that is happening as we speak. I have recieved phone calls from various people that recieved it tonight and i have heard diffirent stories of what it is doing to there computers. One of my closest friends is a computer technician and broke into the virus itself and got a link and a website at which the virus has originated form and we are currently taking steps in reporting this to the authorities.
Again my cencere apologies to everyone that received the link if you do need information or help with anything regarding this please dont hesitate to contact me via my mobile.

I almost got it from you as well Shaun, I clicked the link but didn't click "run" so I don't think i'm effected. See how we go!

snypereb · 01-10-2006, 11:49 PM

Sorry mate there are 5-6 members i beileve that have been effected by the virus!! Hope that all is ok. You will know if you have it though. The link will send itself to all people log on on your contact list and you will end up with heaps of chat screens on your computer and heaps of pop up's!

Sorry mate!

Sorry mate!

Don't even worry about it man! It's not your fault, and I don't think I got it anyway.

LTDHO · 02-10-2006, 08:07 AM

Although I didn't get the virus, I did get an email telling me that soon I will have to pay for hotmail accounts. Not sure if it true, I deleted it.

So who else has blocked Snyper on their MSN??

snypereb · 02-10-2006, 05:28 PM

Haha i can understand that wayne lol!!

Jason[98.EL] · 02-10-2006, 06:10 PM

Back?

OK. well good luck

dansedgli · 30-11-2006, 10:31 PM

This owned me as well.

I shut my laptop off as the msn boxes were going mad then I removed MSN and reinstalled it. It doesnt seem to be doing anything wrong now. Have I gotten rid of it or is it still in my system?

Did many people get it from me? Sorry if you did. Only some in my list got it I think though.

Damo · 30-11-2006, 11:07 PM

yeah i got it from you Dan, you owe me some beer or 16 yo chicks. I bought a new PC and the problem was fixed.

snypereb · 01-12-2006, 12:47 AM

I didnt get it i think you acually have to be online to get it.

TICKFORD_XR6 · 01-12-2006, 01:19 AM

ask the person what they sent you before accepting anything from them
that way you'll never get a virus

easy as that

needfordspeed · 01-12-2006, 02:49 AM

I almost got it from ya Dan, but knew what it was as soon as I clicked it, lucky I didn't save it.

efgiar · 01-12-2006, 07:47 AM

MSN may bring in a fee for services, and msn is not included, nor hotmail so if any of you were wondering (and serious? :P) you will never pay for msn, and if you do, all i have to say is - owned!

dansedgli · 01-12-2006, 08:37 AM

Sorry guys, 16 year olds and beer will be in the mail.
