Thumbs up MSN - virus and you might not know you had it.

EVERYONE:

I noticed this week alot of weird messages with a sent link by friends on MSN. I found this article that will help explain and help people remove this virus from your system if you did not know you had it.

STEVEN:

If I don' t feel a link looks safe I never open but my virus programs pick up this crapola and tell me to avoid so that is always good to update

Problem easily solved: go to pandasoftware.com and in the bottom left corner, press the "Panda Activescan" icon. Run a full scan of your computer.
Note: this FREE version of virus software works better than MacCrapee and Norton Anti-nothing.

Just stating people are unaware there are sending these PIF files. I was well aware to not bother accepting the link. I just posted this to help people who may not know.

Kelvin; Sorry about that dude, thats never happened to me, its worked every time for me, and even finds Trojans that Norton doesn't see.
Note; I rescanned with Norton as a backup and didn't notice anything (you're computer is playing tricks on you). I personally know of over 25 people that use this PandaSoftware scan and they have never gotten anything malicious attached. Again, sorry 'bout that.
