| Virus spreading on msn messenger I was on msn talking to my friends, when i saw that he had sent me this message saying "hey, you look funny in this pic. -link here- check it out!" or something like that. Out of curiosity, i clicked it thinking he was being funny or somethin. Once i clicked it, i noticed a lot of pop-up ads just kept coming up, constantly. All sorts of ads. Also, it crashed my computer. And when i came back to sign in on msn, i went to talk to someone and it sent that same message to every single one of my contacts. i had to sign out, couldnt stand it. Also, my virus protection just expired so i am vulnerable to attacks...for now. i found a few files that were made by the virus but it only stopped them temporarilly. So if your on msn, don't click that damn link!! i warn you! these pop up ads are coming up now as i speak and i am angered very much, i have allready sent hate mail to these stupid sites...oh the joy of it all.  Edit: haha one of the sites i sent hatemail to has blocked me from their site! lol good on them! mobi-dada.net, bannerconnect.net, experclick.net are a few of the sites i found ads from.  | ||||

| Sad thing is, this isn't MSN messenger's fault, but of course it will take the rap for it.
