If you have Windows Live Messenger, you may want to read this topic. This might be a problem to all IMs


Hello, this is a warning to everyone about IM Messenger.

I've noticed a friend of mine was advertising porn sites and some are saying "Is that you in the pic??? (Link)"
I did not click any links that was sent to me and I know anybody would never do such a thing to send me something they didn't send. If I ever catch anything happening like that, I'll bring in a screen-shot to show the example. However, a friend of mine was upset and thinking I was rude because I called him names and logout, I would never do anything like that to hurt other people. I thought Microsoft was behind all of this and I was about to sue them till I figured out what was causing all of this to happen. It was a virus, trojan and any other threats you can think of that was causing all of it to happen. I changed my password and that did not help as it continues so I downloaded this program called "Malware". I ran a full scan and it found a Hi-Jacker inside of my main computer system so then I completly removed that Hi-Jacker out of it and it has never came back since then. I've been getting may reports around the world that people has been dealing with these kinds of problems before.

I've captured ths action after removing it. Here is what it's shown below:

Bottom line, don't let anyone led you off into a site that contains a threat because it can harm your computer and your life. The reason I say "your life." is because whoever this Hi-Jacker is will come and hunt you down or steal your information so watch out when you go off into another website. Best thing to do is scan your files everytime you download (That includes private server files! even f they don't have or you think there no virus in them; it best and fully recomend for your safty to scan that product).

Please keep this in mind everyone and help your friends to stay safe.

HINT: If your friends send you an IM that something may be a threat or offensive and is offline, that may not be your friend doing it but your friend's computer may be infected and it best to let that person know right away when that person logs in.
