| 664607 | 2008-05-01 05:47:00 | Dear all, the MSN messenger of a friend of mine has been infected with a virus (quite likely?). Her chat client automatically sends the following message to those who are online and offline: Heyy install it www.likefiremusic.info I have tried googling for the message sent, but to no avail. And yes, I am positive she did not intentionally send me the message. Cheers :) |
