IMAGE 11 VIRUS!

Posted by Top_hunter7 on Oct. 25, 2007, 9:22 a.m.

This is a matter of grave importance!!

On MSN Messenger, if you get prompted to receive a file called image11, do not accept it!! I mean it, it is a virus, and the 'sender' is not aware that they are sending it, it does it automatically, as I was prompted with a message allegedly from Jackaroo, which I believe said : "Hey man, accept my pic, I edited it to look wicked cool!" So I thought, what's harm can it do, I trust Jackaroo. When transfer was finished, I looked inside the image11.zip file, the there was an imag11.exe, so I figured, "Oh, he has probably made a slide show in Game Maker or something, so I double clicked it and my computer froze, the conversation between me and Jackaroo kept flickering, and disappearing, and I wasn't in control of my mouse, so I had to do Ctrl+Alt+Del and somehow, I was back in control, even though the task manager wasn't brought up. So, after that, I yelled at Jackaroo, but he didn't know about it, though he said his cousin had the same thing happen to them, so I deleted the image11.zip and I thought the crisis was over. About 30 minutes later, I was talking to Ice Mage (GMC) and my MSN froze,and logged me out, I thought nothing of it, it does that sometimes, so when I logged back in, I got a message from Ice Mage saying, "I hate you! You sent me a virus" So then I explained that it happened to me also, so I am trying to get rid of this file from my computer all together, but I cannot find it. But the main reason I did this blog is to warn you!!

Thanks 64D

Deapermeaning makes complete sense. You see, admins can only log in with their own IP. In order to log in on a different computer and still have powers, JakeX created a Mod named Deapermeaning. Moderators can log in on any IP. It is just a smart solution.

Well, it isn't good to have it happen to you, it's highly annoying. And making fake image11, even though no harm done, if I see that file, I'm near sure I will crap myself!! So many comments while I was at work. AHH

This is the type of thing that really encourages me to get on MSN more often.

@twisterghost: I didn't even open the ZIP and I was freezing. It's called multitasking. This one happened to be running FL Studio with music playing, a game, and Messenger with an opening file. How else would you expect it to respond?

As I said, I thought he made a slideshow out of it, so I am not a noob, but in saying that, I can't even remember what the program is called, but I'm nearly sure it is executed in start-up. So I am now looking into everything, aswell as Blue Mario. But the main reason I posted this blog is to warn you, not so you could go against me in calling me a noob, as I am not. I know for a fact what I am doing with computers, so please don't try to hinder my computer skills.

Oh yea, forget to mention anything to do with the ongoing conversation about Anti-Virus Programs, I use AVG 7.5 Free Edition, and Crap Cleaner which was given by Jackaroo, cleaned so much out of it!! Thanks again
