Messenger virus?

[ostarella]

My apologies to any and all who might get this via Yahoo messenger - a friend of mine sent me a link to a picture - not even realizing that YIM (or any other instant messenger) could contain viruses (stupidly thought they had better protection than emails) I clicked on it - my computer died, took me almost four hours just to get it to stay on long enough to do a spyware scan (now doing the virus scan) - there were three spyware thingies on my computer. :-(   So now I keep getting YIM and AIM popping up and pinging people (I finaly signed off both). Anyway, trying to figure out how to fix it now. Lesson learned.

I hate the internet sometimes...

Yuk, how awful! Hope you get it fixed. Meh, I never IM any more, Twitter is where it's at these days. :D
