I'll take it from here...
I've got another virus on my MSN, it sends a link out to everyone of you online on MSN. So if it happens, dont click it! I've repaired MSN because that worked last time, err...until now, but please, dont click it if ya get sent the link!

If I were one of your contacts and If it so happened that I clicked on that link I highly doubt doubt I would get a virus. Mostly because my firewall detects any virus entry and treats them accordingly.

I dont sure it's that virus: I heard that for a year ago.... ...it is a msn virus! everytime the infected computer send the message the wierd text and link appears to the bottom of the message. Then other user clicks link to the image. The virus infects by the "JPEG's low sercurity" So the firewall can't help.

My firewall scans all IMs that are recieved. It wouldn't be the first time it scanned a IM and treated it either. Besides I have never got a single virus.

If virus warnings aren't banned, then I'm going to have to ban them. I hate virus warnings, and they're 100% useless also. Do you know how many new viruses are discovered every day? Yoshi's Corner gets less new threads a day than the number of new viruses discovered daily. (scroll down to "Latest Virus Threats"): securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html/Anti-virus programs are nowhere close to being fail-proof. Depending entirely on an anti-virus program to prevent infection = future infection VERY likely. Jacobthehero, I don't want to see any more virus warning threads. Please.
