Virus Warning!

If you recieve a random MSN from someone with this e-mail: christian.skogstad@c2i DO NOT open. It's a virus that doesn't even require you to click on any links. I just recieved it this morning as I was typing out a story. It changes your internet browsers homepage to a different site, slows down your machine and might affect your MSN. I'm not sure if anyone recieves spam from my MSN or not as when I open someones screen name it tells me that I send a message although I haven't so I have chosen to close MSN down until I clean it out. I'm currently in the process of cleaning it out of my system. The message sent to you will include a hi5 link with your e-mail. I don't even own a hi5 account!

Anyways hope this did not spread to anyone through my MSN. AVG sucks.. and my windows firewall never caught it. How nice :)

Or simpler:

1. Do not open porno.ru links.
2. Use Miranda or Pidgin.

ROFL! My friend transfered 39.7 GBs of porn vids to my external HD when I worked overseas. Porn sites are extinct on this machine. Already lost one comp due to them. XD

*EDIT*

When he told me he had all the codec's I would need, I thought he was talking about WMP codec's so I could watch the movies I got from the market there. Not Palmtropia flicks. lol
