MSN Auto-Spreading Virus

Recommended Posts

This is a good reason not to use MSN. It's got the worst security of any IM. Of course, it's never good to open any files with extensions that don't exist.

Which do you hear about more? AIM being crap or MSN being crap? It's your own fault if you accepted it... I admit I accepted it, and it was a stupid thing to do, but AIM IS CRAP! :twisted:

To see if you have the virus, bring up task manager and check processes:If you have anything that looks like **.pif running, close it and delete the executable file.Does anyone know the damage level of this?

not yet, i got the file now, as soon as i figure out what language it is in, ill reverse the code and find out what it does. Give me a day or so to figure out the language its programed in, not always that easy.

you cant bring up the task manager thats one of the effects of it
it keeps the task manager from staying open

Didn't realise this. That's another variation - my mate had it and we were able to get the task bar up.

lol, mine didn't seem to do anything. It just sent the message to everyone online...My task manager opens fine, and after I restarted (the next day) it wasn't running. I didn't bother to check on the day.
