I’m trying to get some information on worms and/or viruses that have affected IM users. I was wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in attacks, or has been affected by it in any way.
Yes I have noticed that lots of people are getting these viruses and worms. I have gotten 1 or 2 myself. These are getting around fast because most of them came from programs like kazaa and mIRC and then people download them constantly and its sad for those that dont have norton or anything. Just never click a link like:
“Happy Holidays pictures (link)”
“I cant believe I got a picture of %n (link)”
“i’m buying this camera, (link) isnt it awesome?”

there are a lot of good programs people have made/posted on here to deal with viruses, worms, bots and pretty much anything you don’t want. just look around for a while and you’ll find what you need to know.
Yeah what’s up with that I think it’s been the last couple months they have been increasable popular. I guess people are just been getting dumber.
no its just that they are extremely easy to make and once you give it to one person it starts a pyramid scheme
