Ok I don't know if you guys know but there are alot of viruses floating around MSN right now. Don't accept if the file is .pif. Also if it has a funny name. The major one right now starts... "check this out its funny"...or something like that. This will then send the message to all your contacts, while it infects your comp with Trojan Horses and Spyware. Just a heads up ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |

Ya I've seen that stuff but really anything you download from anywhere could have spy-ware but you can scan the file before you download it to protect yourself. ------------- Don't wipe and I won't light you up like a christmas tree! XBOX LIVE SCREEN NAME: CGFunnyGuy23 or CGHaloBaller |
