MSN virus

broken · 09-02-2004, 12:52 PM

I just heard from my mate that there was a virus going round being spread by MSN. I don't know if this is true or not, so I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of it. This is what she told me:

"if andrew_cenita[at]hotmail[dot]com' adds you to your msn, don't accept it. its a virus. Tell everyone on your msn because if somebody on your list adds them u get the virus too, its a multi threading virus capable of picking up random msn accounts of an infected user's msn list. Copy and paste this to everyone."

I wouldn't of thought that a virus could be spread this way, but then again virus writers are coming up with more and more ways every day. I goggled the e-mail address (andrew_cenita[at]hotmail[dot]com) and nothing came up.

Oops, do you think so.

I know so...the same letter is being received by hundreds of people...actually stupid people who actually believe and send the crap to others and think they are doing a 'favor' or 'helping' the person they are sending the letter too...

I'm really sorry about that, I feel so stuped now.

Broken, you are not stupid! you did the right thing in forwarding this. It is unfortunate that these actions will undermine the power of internet and there are fools in this world who resort to such practices without realsing the damage they cause

Thats interesting, but they could be fools like me who just believe in a chain letter.

Yeah, I suppose. But what if it is true? You can't just know it's fake by looking at it.
