Another virus is about on MSN Messenger!!! Its called choke.exe.
when sum1 sent it to me the choke thing came up, and the 100's of winking faces came up. And at the bottom it said "georgeW.bush@washington.gov is typing a message" came up! I dont know what the virus does! But lets not take no chances!  Plz report any other messages on this board!

I got a virus disguising itself as an mp3 before, when I tried to play it it said ''Hi this is Satan and Im about to destroy your hardrive please hold''. I nearly had a heart attack and switched off the computer at the mains.

 , MP3's cannot carry a virus. only EXE, COM, VBS, SCR and a few others.. MP3 and image files are ok, someone was just messing with you...  |

Beware of companies that disguise themselves! I got a "seemingly" normal email from MICROSOFT.COM with this attachment.
Someone had sent it to me under the disguise from a bogus email creator. The file was 'fastupgrade.exe' and I opened it to find that it had slowed down my PC to a complete halt and the blue screen of death came up saying - "Your Drive Is Dead...HAHAHA", : I just quickly grabbed the plug and yanked it out. Beware: even the most tempting of emails should be checked up upon, usually there will be news on their main website. I will also look out for these other evils. ------------------

Maybe it was just a joke but it scared the hell out of me especially when I saw where it was on the hardisk with some weird stuff at the end instead of .mp3
