Just don't be stupid. End of story. Same with every virus spread by IM or e-mail.

Sorry, mysterious .exe files in my e-mails are not installed to my computer.

If you use some ****ing common sense you won't have to worry about it.

People who fall for this kind of stuff deserve to get the virus.

How dumb do you have to be to fall for this? Seriously.

"My friend catched you on hidden cam. LOL"

I don't usually pay attention to messages like that, even if they're from my friends. Put grammar into your spam, people. D:

I'm afraid to click the link you set up there. Because whenever someone complains of a virus, and posts the link, that usually leads to trouble.

And, come on, just get AVG Free or something. It will warn you about the object before you install it...

The link is legit. There would be mayhem if the link lead to trouble as you put it.

P.S. AVG Free isn't really the best software. There are lots of loopholes in anti-virus software.

Edit: 1000th Post

Therefore, when the person downloads it, it would be installed and they would be taken to the video, but this time, it would've said "Video has been removed". Also, I bet you that if you bound it with an actual setup, then some AV's wouldn't catch it.

But this is theoretical and I'm not a hacker or anything ;)

What's the point of sending people viruses, anyway >___<

Rofl at a 16 kb program or whatever. Good thing I don't use Facebook because I'm either a loser or too lazy to keep up with it, or both.

You can steal their information and hack their identity/paypal and go from there.

You can **** them over because you're a sick ****.

You are getting revenge on someone.

People didn't believe you when you said you could do it so you are proving it to them.

You are playing a practical joke on a friend.

You are experimenting and do not actually mean harm.

There are many reasons to send viruses...not that I've done it or anything...;)
