    Posted: 19 June 2005 at 10:26pm

A few minutes ago I got a weird random IM from my friend saying "HAHA LOOK AT THEM- with a link. Whatever the hell you do, dont click and run it! If you do it will send the same message/virus constantly to everyone whos away/online. It also closes all of your message windows, and other things. Its extremly annoying and impossible to stop.

I really hope you read this in time. It happens so fast, and Im sure all my friends and their friend have it now too.

This thread is must read? How so? This happens all the time to people to stupid to use a computer. Hey look, a random person on my buddy list just sent me a link without even saying hi first. Oh look it's a .jpg.exe, that must be a picture file, oh sure, i'll run this file even though it asks me if i want to and warns me that it could run malicious code. Oh n00z, my friend didn't send me a picture, it's a virus. What a jerk, I don't know how they could outsmart me the 1337 hax0r that runs code without knowing what it is even with weird file extensions.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Luck has absolutly nothing to do with getting viri, it's common sense and maybe a little intelligence.

Should I add that my mom got it while surfing the net, and blamed it on me? Now I'm grounded for 2 weeks cause she got a virus.

Meh, you should still have your computer secure enough where your mom can't get a virus, decent anti virus with real time scanning, firewall, good internet security settings on your browser that's not internet explorer (opera or firefox) then you wouldn't have this problem, plus nightly antivirus and spyware scans to boot
