| | Messenger 2008 Virus: HELP! Last week, someone sent me a message saying "is this your photo?" with a link. I clicked on it, & now after i sign on, i can't send any messages or open them either. Others tell me I'm sending the same link to them. Can anybody help solve this? I'm using Live Messenger 2008.. I would greatly appreciate it! |

| | Re: Messenger 2008 Virus: HELP! All you need is a good AV program? What are you using? By now all AV programs should be able to handle this. If not, check http://www.free-av.com That's a very good AV software. The virus is probably named fukker.exe "shishi" <shishi@xxxxxx> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:6F6252FF-B713-4D36-AFD6-532A4EE8AE25@xxxxxx Quote: > Last week, someone sent me a message saying "is this your photo?" with a > link. > I clicked on it, & now after i sign on, i can't send any messages or open > them either. > Others tell me I'm sending the same link to them. > Can anybody help solve this? > I'm using Live Messenger 2008.. > I would greatly appreciate it! |

| | Re: Messenger 2008 Virus: HELP! Greetings, Unfortunately it's not that simple. There are literally thousands of these types of viruses/worms and the vast majority of anti-virus scanners out there can't find them as their actual life is quite short (since the links get shut down). Besides running scanners, the vast majority of these worms are simply running executables which you can identify just by perusing the Task Manager processes tab. If you're not familiar enough with Windows or your system to identify them, then you may want to ask a friend or someone similar to directly assist you in locating and deleting this worm. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "???????" <oppiman(at)live.com> wrote in message news:elXkMbElJHA.1248@xxxxxx Quote: > All you need is a good AV program? > What are you using? > By now all AV programs should be able to handle this. > > If not, check http://www.free-av.com > That's a very good AV software. > > The virus is probably named fukker.exe > > > > > "shishi" <shishi@xxxxxx> schrieb im Newsbeitrag > news:6F6252FF-B713-4D36-AFD6-532A4EE8AE25@xxxxxx Quote: >> Last week, someone sent me a message saying "is this your photo?" with a link. >> I clicked on it, & now after i sign on, i can't send any messages or open >> them either. >> Others tell me I'm sending the same link to them. >> Can anybody help solve this? >> I'm using Live Messenger 2008.. >> I would greatly appreciate it! |
