Some of you may have already noticed this, but for all of you who haven't I will explain.


What is this:
First off, this isn't really a virus. It's like a server account scam
that works like a virus. What this does is it will sign you out of msn on
your computer. Then what happens is your account logs in somewhere else
and it sends a message to everyone on your contact list that should look
something like this:
http://suppercoolz.com/

Or a link with their email address in it. Then it will automatically sign off your account. Now when you sign back in you might get a bunch of
people asking what you are talking about and you will be clueless. Don't
worry about that for now.


How did I get this:
You may have registered at a site recently for an msn dating service from
a link your friend who also has the virus sent you. When you go to the
site it will ask you to sign into your msn account. This is were the
virus scam takes over. Once you sign in the site automatically has your
password for msn. Don't worry the won't change it. They use it to scam
more people.


How do I fix this:
This is very simple really. They have your password. What are you going
to do? Well, all you have to do is change your password. Just do it off
of your hotmail. Once you do that any time the website tries to use your
password it won't work.


If any of your friends have this then refer them to this link. Thanks to
all who read this.

This isn't old? This is very recent actually. It started happening to me
and my friends about 5 days ago.
