  | ATTENTION to ALL MYSPACE users!!!! Once again this stupid thing found me again. I logged into MySpace a few minutes ago and when I did, the usualy advertisement popped up before bringing me to my home page. THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS A VIRUS. It says it is scanning for spyware for either antivirus 2008, or 2009 or even Virus buster 2.0.2 or whatever, ..... CLOSE THE WINDOW IMMEDIATELY, then run your personal antivurus and anti spyware destroyer immediately. For those who remember the last time I got burned, and LOST my HD because of this ******* thing...... SO If you logg onto MySpace and you see this advertisement... IT IS A VIRUS< shut the window, stop it before it destroys your HD.... I sincerely hope y'all do not get infected. And good luck.

| I am running TWO anti virus prgrams and a firewall, and it still got through. After that error screen it when I got it. The first thing it does, sneaky little thing, is disguise itself as a file the anti-virus software will allow, then it turns it off. Afcter I shut down my internet, I went to scan my hard disk to see if the trojan got in, and BOTH of my programs were turned off. So just be careful. I lost almost 40 gigs of my files last time it happend, I would hate to see that happen to someone else.

| well, I had to deal with it last night. Lukily I found it, caught it, and then destroyed it in time. I had my share of scares with this thing.... enough is enough...LOL... But fortunately, I am back online today, so I guess it was not as fatal as the first time it happened....LOL....
