  Is there a new msn virus going around?

  it has a link, sometimes with your initials in it...

  i cant find the discussion anywhere, so any kind soul can tell me if there is any anti virus for it?

  usually these virus are the same with little modifications. there's a term for it but i forgot. shouldn't be too serious, just scanned and delete those files and your com should be safe.
