Subject: "whoa look what i found - click here" link
Written By: Ethan Mawyer on 11/27/03 at 07:59 p.m.
anyone else have any trouble with that? in a nonthinking moment i clicked on it in someone's AIM profile and ended up with a virus that landed my laptop in the computer center for over a week. It switched my homepage to something called slotch dot com and installed a lot of stuff that would come back after i deleted it. I think now it switched to a site called talk stocks dot net - thats what a link with the same words links to but i know better than to click on it to find out what it is. I think the virus is called xupiter i'd like to know more about it so i can help people not to get it if possible

Wow, thanks for the warning...scary stuff, man. Do you have virus scan by any chance? Usually that stops the virus from downloading.

I wound up with a virus but it was cleaned up later on.
