Just change your MSN/Hotmail password and that will solve the problem.And don't click on the link that people sending you.You can obviously know it a password stealer since everytime the person send the link,their status is OFFLINE.

My contact list also same. I wonder why they wanna click on the link ppl send. Very annoying. It was like a virus spreading to everyone. Why click on the link in the 1st place?

QUOTE(alanlai12345 @ Dec 26 2008, 03:10 PM) Thanks a lot man ! The virus infects your computer and spam links to whoever is on the contact list of the logged-in MSN/WLM user. The links will then cause the virus to be downloaded. is it changing msn's password can solve the problem? Added on December 26, 2008, 3:15 pm do you know how that virus works actually? PS: It's not a virus, I'm not sure about the correct term for it.  |
