Tonight on MSN i was talking to a friend and he gave me a message saying "haha is this you" with a link to imageshack. After looking twice at the link it actually said "imageshaack" with 2 A's. It then turned out he had not sent the message and it was a self sending MSN virus, pretending to be your friend and using there name but actually sends itself. When you click the link it asks you if you want to open the file. DO NOT open the file. It will install a virus on your computer. Here is a screenshot to show exactly what i am talking about. I have blanked out my friends name and my e-mail address (Strangely my email address was posted in the message that contained the dangerous file, i have changed my password to my email account ;) )

No i didn't get the virus as my friend alerted me of what the file contained just before i was going to click "Open".......
Hope this Helped you all.

Hiya guys :)
These type of viruses have been floating around on MSN for a while now. I was sent a similar thing 2 years ago. Luckily my Virus Checker picked it up, and removed it ;)
