Too bad it was just me being an ass ;p

**Moogy** · 05-1-2005, 05:57 PM

I haven't gotten hit by anyone yet.

You know what's effed ? That recent buddies thing on aim. People who I don't know are automatically added to my list. Generally, I use send/get file. No direct connections and I never ever open anything from people I don't know.

Question: Is this virus an IE thing or mozilla firefox....?

tnyhwk900 · 05-1-2005, 06:03 PM

Neither. It just opens the link in your default browser.

Anticrombie0909 · 05-1-2005, 06:29 PM

I haven't gotten hit either...perhaps it doesn't work with Trillian?

It's not a client, it's just a link that is sent to you. You can only get infected by clicking the link (and downloading the file? i'm not sure)

You aren't immune from the virus trying to be sent to you, but for all I know trillian could prevent the spread.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-1-2005, 07:47 PM

0 attempts on Tass.

**Snapps** · 05-1-2005, 08:04 PM

Other than zajac, which was a different virus, none yet.

**Squeek** · 05-1-2005, 08:39 PM

I got on AIM specifically to get sent one of these... and I failed.

Darn. I want a virus too. I've only had like 50 people fail miserably on my Yahoo e-mail account daily in recent days.

"Delivery Failure Notification!" 45k e-mail with an attachment. GG. I wish I actually sent e-mails.

0 Attempts on ddrruler...because people on my buddylist aren't retarded enough to click the link....

tnyhwk900 · 05-2-2005, 03:35 AM

ddrruler, you have it backwards. Anyone who does click the link spreads it to people on their buddylist.

Squeek, if you want me to fake one and have it link to goatse, say the word.

Afrobean · 05-2-2005, 03:51 AM

Ha! I haven't been on AIM, so I'm immune. Take that AOL!

N0BAWDY · 05-2-2005, 07:35 AM

My friend got one on MSN that said... Hey Check this out!, then it tried sending him a file called funny.gif.exe... He fell for it and it sent another one to everyone on his list... viruses these days

Posted April 13th... But your thread explains it a lot better...

angel-d · 05-2-2005, 11:01 AM

I had one like that like beginning of Febuary i think, left my MSN on and came back to find like 10 messages from different people with the same thing, so i didn't click it. Yey me!
But i haven't renewed Norton or put any spyware detector on computer for almost a year so who knows what is slowly eating it away. Silly me!
Hmm actually does anyone know a good spyware remover thing, and a free virus stopper thing?

pntballa18 · 05-2-2005, 11:10 AM

Everytime this one person IMs me I get sent something like "Come and check out your buddy's new buddy icon! I dont know if this is it because I never clicked it.

hydrojakep · 05-2-2005, 11:36 AM

I have one attempt on me with this virus. When some other ones were big i was hit with them all the time, but now i'm not. I use trillian anyway.

DataXUnknown · 05-2-2005, 09:36 PM

I had like 32048732087 attempts on me. My friends are so lame, some people I don't even know as well...*sigh*
