right click the link they IM you and then click 'reveal url' or whatever and it'll show the URL. If it's a exe then definately don't click it...if it's a JPG you should save it to your comp, but don't click it, then scan it with antivirus. if it's avirus don't click it
that's if your really wanna see the pic and you don't know if yur friend is kidding around or not. |

I think this topic is getting old now, there is a virus remover link in the " program section " .. i wonder if the mod is going to close this now.

Thank God for Macs!
I remember Eddie sending it to me. I clicked it, not knowing any better. I downloaded the .exe file, but nothing happened. 'Cause Macs don't have a default application to open .exe files. w00t!! Suckahs. |

yeah, there are lots of viruses like that. i know people that click on links and their profile gets hacked and changed to some advertisement for a website. it sucks because no matter how many times they change it, its still there. that happened to me once...it was something like " omg look who's picture i found on .... [insert link here] "

i got the I.M.
 and stupidly i clicked and downloaded. i thought it was some sort of like funny video or something. Well anyway, after i downloaded this stupid desktop shortcut popped up that i couldnt delete, and i didnt really think about it because i didnt think it was part of the im. about a day later, a whole bunch of im windows of different people pooped up simutaneoulsly. THE LINK SENT TO EVERYBODY ON MY LIST!!. so i had to im everybody and tell them not to click on it and download. It was a real pain to get it off manually with norton antivirus, but now its gone!! woopee.

 My name's Katt. Nice to meet you! Group: Member Posts: 3,826 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 93,674 |
Yeah. Don't go into chatrooms because those damned bots will save your SN and they will IM you with that kind of junk. That's happened to me before, but obviously, I just tell them to screw off or not look at it at all. Tons of sexbots, NOT COOL. Don't fall for it.
