Help Please!!!!!! I Think I Got A Virus/trojan/worm
Expand Post »
Yes this is the first time this has occurred..
I will tell you what happened... Here i go
Ok tonight i sent an im over aim to somebody and they said i sent a link which i didnt and i send another im to another person and they also said i sent a link which i didnt. So i dont know what this is, is it a trojan horse, a virus, or just a worm? I would think it would be a trojan horse. But i asked them what did the link say and they sent it back to me but it didnt register. And she told me that she sent it... Andi didnt think about it being a virus/trojan/worm untill she exited out of the window. Well i asked her what the link was and she said she didnt know. So it i told her if she gets the link again just send it back to me with out the .com so it wouldnt be a link. I am worried that i got one b/c this is the first time this has happened to me since i had my expensive imac. I am running a mac os x version 10.3.9. And i ran a virus scan for my apps with ClamXav so far there hasnt been a virus detected. Can someone PLEASE help me becuase when i tell my dad he is going to kill me if i dont fix it....

Did you recently install a piece of software to know if people were blocking you? i did this with msn on windows and got the same thing saying "get blockchecker here"

You could also try using a different instant messenger. Macs come by default, with iChat, which uses the AIM protocol, so you won't have to get a different screen name. Adium is another instant messenger you can try.

i hate msn, google should make google talk for mac and linux. you can also try trillian.
Google Talk (the service) is for Mac and Linux. You just can't use the Google Talk client. But there's lots of other clients that support it and are perfectly good:

oeryone else is getting off topic.... let me explain your real problem...
you HAVE indeed been infected with a virus... this a really week virus though so no worries about your computer..... basicly if you got the usual... what happens is they will get a messege from you that says something like:
"click here to do something blah blah blahinsert url link here*"
then when they click on the link.... there infected aswell....
download some virus scanner becuase norton is worth nothing (like ad-aware SE)
then basicly just quarentine the virus.... make sure you warn your friends that prob have the virus aswell of the situation..... no worries about your computer though its not goign to mess up your computer... good luck
Use iGotVirus.com and you'll be virus free in hrs...
I've used the services of iGotVirus.com after infecting my computer by clicking on things that I shouldn't have...
I was very happy that they cleaned my machine while I was at work. They also updated my xp pro, gave me full virus protection software for free. And I didn't loose one single pictures or documents on my desktop. Last year when I had my laptop brought to bestbuy to have viruses removed the idiots deleted my hard drive with all the data.
So don't experiment. These guys are awesome. Use 'em...lol

Pretty good except for two things.
