My girlfriend called me and told me she had a weird virus that she could not quarantine. She hasn't been downloading anything or stuff like that.
She said that last night she got on MySpace but didn't click things, just went through some profiles. Is there any way she could have gotten the virus through MySpace? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

was she using ie and did she have all of her windows updates applied? it's possible, but highly unlikely it came from myspace
she's probably missing a windows security patch and got a worm |

Her computer continually tells her it can't quarantine the virus and as soon as soon as she opens a browser window she gets all kinds of warnings. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
