(Edited by Shuichi at 10:21 pm on Aug. 27, 2005) -- Posted by hypnotiq desir3 at 10:21 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 You get a VIRUS Scanner program thingy (I use Norton Anti Virus) and it will tell you. -- Posted by TheUnrealSlimShady at 10:21 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 You know you have one when your PC freezes, crashes, and otherwise acts more stupid than usual. If you have one, you throw the PC away and buy a Mac. Edit: Or if you're more technologically gifted, download some form of Linux and install it over Winshit XP.

Becuase once you do that the programs crash, not the computer... Programs don't crash often, if at all... But if they do, it's better to just close a program and restart it. -- Posted by hypnotiq desir3 at 10:26 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 Quote: from TheUnrealSlimShady at 10:25 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 Quote: from Kenny1 at 10:23 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 Quote: from TheUnrealSlimShady at 1:21 am on Aug. 28, 2005 You know you have one when your PC freezes, crashes, and otherwise acts more stupid than usual.     If you have one, you throw the PC away and buy a Mac.    Becuase once you do that the programs crash, not the computer...

God no! i did not know what it was. what does it mean? -- Posted by Midnight Frost at 10:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 I think its some sort of spyware/adware. Just go into your computer and delete the stuff from the system folder. And lesson to learn? Don't just go about anyhow clicking on links. -- Posted by TheUnrealSlimShady at 10:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 Quote: from Jesska15 at 10:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 Quote: from TheUnrealSlimShady at 11:34 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 Quote: from Jesska15 at 10:31 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 okay so do i just bring it to some cumputer place and get it fixed? like when i am on msn i will be talking to someone and then this link shows up.     Automessage : download the new MSN update here! www.warezddls.com/download.php?key=sfGNu&type=fun&id=9154&do=download               PLEASE tell me you didn't click it. God no! i did not know what it was. what does it mean? As Midnight Frost said, it most likely takes you to download spyware or adware. Just like the name says, it spys on your computer activities or places ads. It can be worse than a virus at times. -- Posted by Wrizza at 10:39 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 Quote: from hypnotiq desir3 at 5:21 pm on Aug. 28, 2005 You get a VIRUS Scanner program thingy (I use Norton Anti Virus) and it will tell you. -- Posted by Jesska15 at 10:39 pm on Aug. 27, 2005 So can i just delete it?
