Mass spamming via Instant Messengers (potential virus threat).

I just got a message from one of my friends on Windows Live Messenger that says; "hey is this you LOL" and followed by that was a link to getoffnapsack*dot*com/album07/img045.php

If you get that message DO NOT CLICK THE LINK,(and obviously don't click the above link) a download window will pop-up saying the download is a shortcut to MS-DOS, it's a ******** virus.


One of my legit friends sent me the message, but she has the virus and it's spamming everyone on her friends list.

So I repeat, if you get a message like that, don't open it and ignore it, it's not from your friend.

I just wanted to warn everyone about it.

That is all. Have a nice day, Forrest.

EDIT
I spelled Messenger wrong in the thread title, please ignore it...lol.
Fixed it. -Sno

Tried to get a source of it, but apparently it doesn't load if you have javascript turned off.
