AIM Virus warning

[Erdrick Holmes]

loserkidssuck: DO NOT accept daronboy187 or misx_bitch because they are viruses. Tell everyone online because if sum one on you list accepts it then you get it.

Just to let you know of a virus on AIM.

Is there anyone out there that actually <b>would</b> accept someone that had those names? :)

[escobert]

Hey you never know. I probably would just to see who it was if I coulodn't tell form the info. Thank you Joel :p

[Logan]

I think I'll be safe, because I rarely reply to anyone unless I know them. And I especially wouldn't reply/accept those names.

[crono_logical]

Have you got proof they're viruses? :p Would they affect people using the non-standard client like GAIM? :p Would they affect people running such software under Linux? :p Do you realise AOL software itself is spyware, so who cares if you get a virus anyway, they're just as bad as each other? :p

[Agent Proto]

I doubt it's true myself. I don't think I'll add either of them anyway.

[escobert]

I don't know I was just passing on the info I got that's all. The people I got it form are not computer people they just heasrd that you should't accept IMs form those sns.

[crono_logical]

Probably some people got in an argument and they're trying to ruin each others' names by spreading lies about each other or something then :p

[escobert]

yes probably.

Me.

misx_bitch

I don't know about you, but that name fills me with complete trust.

I don't recall AIM being capable of using underscores. It all seems bogus to me.

[Agent Proto]

it's a virus for MSN messenger... or so some site says

[Flying Mullet]

Well if i'm gonna get an itch and a rash, I'd rather know where it came from.

[Seifer]

MSN? What dumbtard started saying AIM? Some people need to learn how to use computers before they start telling people about 'viruses' they think they know about. =P

Anyway, I don't even use MSN.

[MecaKane]

How the pack can you get a virus from just iming someone?
