Virus attack at YM

I was online at YM (Yahoo Messenger) in my invisible mode (hehe) this morning when a new window suddenly popped out. The message appeared to came from Diane my online friend and co-Bebot. She did not say hi nor wrote any message other than a message (that you can see above with circle) and a url following that.

I know it is not normal to just leave a link, so i immediately thought it was a virus. I DID NOT open the link but what i did was to reply and ask if that is Diane. She replied back and told me that her YM has virus and asks me how to remove it. I don't know how to remove it so i googled it and i just gave her a link that might help her solve it.

I hope she can remove that nasty virus, if i am so careless and clicked that link i might be infected by it right now. Just to make sure, i run my antivirus and my system is clean.

Have you encountered such? If you know how to remove that nasty virus kindly inform me so that i can share it with Diane. Thanks.

  2. Ugh, everything good online has a virus nowadays. They find a way to hack the system and target the casual computer users. I've always wondered the point of a virus...

  6. Yeah huwag niyo i click yan Jen. Kasi yong sisters ko ganyan nangyari sa YM niya. Yong online message is bastos pa naman yong nakalagay? tapos wala na cyang choice kasi mag pop lang agad yong message. Sa pinas yon ah laking problema talaga kasi di na maka sign in. Minsan may mga offline messages pa yan cila.
