my girlfriend got me the virus from her friend who also has it. I fixed mine using jayodan. U gotta be smart and NEVER EVER click a link U don't know. Even if from your best friend, your parents, whatever. Only click ones u know like for example xanga.com. If it like www.clickmeforpics.com, it probably a virus. and don't save anything that looks strange like pictures.pif which ain't even a picture file and run it.

Gosh. My friend gave it to me once and it totally pissed me off.
But then I restarted my computer and it went away. (:

Doesn't that pretty much accomplish the same thing as clicking it?

no.

they trick you by having the link text and the link target different.

I thought you meant to just copy the URL and paste it into a browser address bar.
sadolakced acid
yea... i meant the visual text. don't use right click and copy URL.

like this link (perfectely ok to click)

http://www.xanga.com

if you copied and pasted you'd get what you thought it was.
