Warning Msn!!
I have just been sent a trojan horse through MSN ...

It starts like this:

HAHA this is you >> with a link!! and it looks like it's a contact on your msn that sent it.... It isn't... don't be fooled.

Please don't open, it's a virus.

It has just took me nearly 1hr 30mins stuck in safe mode doing a full system scan. It's gone now.

But I just wanted to warn you all!!

Yeah it's a good idea.... Adults are usually reluctant to open things like this... but kids dont understand. My niece opened hers cos it said it was off me... so I have had to ring her and tell her how to get rid of it

Just warned my son though!! Luckily he wasn't on his laptop at the time...

Re: Warning Msn!!
Just a thought but when I got the last one which was the one Em got my security warned me it could contain stuff that would harm my computer. Did your security not warn you not to open the link?
