BEWARE of a supposed new version of MSN Messenger, v8

by MarkFlax Former Forum moderator Dec 28, 2005 11:02PM PST

My apologies if this has already been noted here. The post can be deleted if it has. But I have just come across this in the Communication and Messaging forum.

A new Beta version of MSN Messenger is being offered, version 8.

There is no new version at this time.

Have a look at these threads for more details;

This is a download that installs a virus called virkel.F onto the computer.

had this posted in the news thread a couple of days ago but I SHOULD have given it a thread of it's own like you did because many of our members use Messenger.

Thanks again, the thread will remain.
