Default MSN Virus?

sometihng is going around, your username get turnd into a .exe link, you install it, it send it to everyone on your list...someone said its a virus, no idea whats going on but its certainly not a good thing

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE FILE, dunno if it can be avoided, if anyone gets any info please post it as a heads up for others.

It's probably a worm. Viruses don't necessarily come with attatchments anymore, so that's why it's important that your anti-virus is up to date.

Yeah...killing peoples systems is not cool. There was a nasty virus that was passed on my floor. 3 people lost their entire harddrives. I laughed...and made sure I did not have them on my msn list!
