computer virus through bebo and email WARNING

winsamsoon · November 07, 2008, 03:59:24 PM

Anyone who has Bebo or indeed on email lads if you receive a message from friends telling you that you are in some video on youtube or some porn video then delete it straight away. The link actually uploads a virus to your computer, a pretty bad trojan virus. They way it works is that when you open it the same message will be automatically sent to all your contacts. This will make it less suspicious. So once again lads Delete the message straight away as it allows people to access your credit card details and other stuff.

As result of this i put my foot in it and downloaded it. Anyone know how to get rid of the dreaded TROJAN?

What happens if you've been in a few porn videos?

ziggysego · November 07, 2008, 04:07:17 PM

Depends, under the counter stuff or private videos

O have got it at least 10 times so everyone must be opneing. Luckily the first person who sent it to me would be a 'random contact' so I knew it was iffy.

I use Norton 2008 and Spyware Doctor. They seem to deal ably with any trojans that show up. If this is brand new, it might be a day or so before the various companies get the updates out to deal with it.

Is this news not about 10 days old?

Just got a 'Breaking News' emailing announcing the recent death of Barack Obama's father.

Didn't even bother opening that one, straight into the bin.

real so remind your users to be vigilant while we work with our

Mhic Easmuint · November 07, 2008, 07:00:07 PM

Brother opened it on other computer.
A simple system restore resolved it in this case.

ziggysego · November 07, 2008, 07:09:56 PM

I got a phonecall to my meteor phone from this number +41765272391 at 10pm one night...didn't answer it because I have no idea what country its coming from and noone in far flung places knows my number anyway! But is this along the same lines as those numbers?

downgirl · November 07, 2008, 08:24:20 PM
