So I typically don't try to spread the paranoia associated with newly-discovered viruses, but this is something that needs to be brought to most of your attentions. I know, because at least half of you that are on my MSN friendslist are infected with it.
Strange things have been appearing on my msn lately. Friends log on for a few seconds, send me a bunch of spam (mostly scam websites), then log off immediately. This odd behavior prompted me to do some research.
Do any of you remember a website called "BlockDelete"? It claims it will tell you who is blocking you on msn, if you give them your personal log-in information. I'd hoped most of you were smarter than that...That website does nothing but store your information, and use it to log in and send spam to everyone on your friendslist. This means that your password is stored on another INSECURE computer somewhere and could be easily accessed by anyone- giving them access to your msn account, e-mail, and any account on other websites that you have registered with your hotmail e-mail address.
As I've said, I know for a fact that a good number of you are victims of this scam based on the strange activity of your msn accounts. Luckily, the only way to protect yourself is also extremely easy. Log in to msn and change your password. You should do this as soon as possible- mostly just because I'm tired of recieving so much spam from you guys. xP
Good luck with not getting your ID stolen.

Are you getting it from me? I never went to a site like that, nor have I even gotten on lately... So if you got something from me... Tell... So I can know to change my password...

No, I haven't got anything from you. You use Yahoo Messenger, don't you? I think this only applies to people that use MSN Messenger.
As for the website it originated from....Some of you guys are telling me you've never seen such a site. Well either your memory sucks or you've used a similar site that does the same thing, because I'm still getting these stupid spam messages from a lot of you that insist you couldn't possibly be infected.
