| | foto facebooky.net virus on MSN Hi, I seem to have caught a virus on my computer, I was chatting with a friend about pictures we took during the weekend. Then I received a message from her saying "Foto http://site.facebooky.net/viewimage.php?=myemailaddress@xxxxxx". I feel so stupid because I usually never get caught but this time I opened it, and of course it was a virus. I am writing on this forum because I can't seem to find any information on the web about this on official security software site(Symantec, McAffee,...). I only find information about using a software named MSNfix, but I kinda not trust it. Did anyone of you ran into this or know the solution for this? Thanks |

| | Re: foto facebooky.net virus on MSN Greetings Crowdak, I haven't seen this one in particular, but the vast majority of these worms work by running their own process. That said, you can bring up the Task Manager, Processes tab and probably identify/eliminate it that way. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Crowdak" <Crowdak@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:499F36A4-9773-412E-B9B0-04EEE862B0E4@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > I seem to have caught a virus on my computer, I was chatting with a friend > about pictures we took during the weekend.
