new virus in icq. warning.
 

i posted about this already - but seems it like epidemy right now.

so - be careful with links what you getting via icq even from people in your contact list.

used for stole change/stole icq password change email etc.

also it install and start something like ssh server at infected pc.

can be zip file or exe or com or even pif file in link.

just received this warning from few people.

so - be careful.

thanks for infos!

thanks for the heads up

but i never really get anything thru icq anymore, their file transfer system is fucked up

thanks,

all messages from users not on contact list with urls are blocked
and I believe most of you have the same mode on :)

i mean links in messages.

like - my birthday pics
or - check out this flash movie

messages from people in contact list who already lost their icq numbers this way

that sucks ass

someone in my contact list sent me that earlier this week. Thankfully my anti-everything program blocked what they tried to load on me.

My ICQ is always invisible and has been for years. I have never got any icq spam or virii before because I have been invisible... it doesn't matter with this particular piece of nastiness.

:2 cents:

I totally got the virus yesterday because I am an idiot and I clicked on the link, downloaded the file and ran it... I had my virus checker check the file bf I opened it and it said it was okay... stupid virus checker. Anyways its all gone after a couple sweeps with the antivirus, malware, and spyware programs ;)
