Dont know if this is the right spot but yeah.


There is a issue involving Windows Live were if you click on a link you get a type of Backdoor virus. One of my friends on here has actually got there account hijacked and then when that happend they try to send me a link saying: "Hey is this you (link here)"

Then my virus software said O he11 no lol.

When i clicked the link my program block 15 backdoor viruses so i dont know if its all over Windows Live but just be aware.

Yes, this is all over, I keep getting it from tons of people, so yeah... I've done some research and apparently it steals passwords and stuff, so if you get it do a virus/malware scan and get it out, as well as change your passwords.It's a nasty one.

Was the link in an E-Mail?
A type of scam trying to get you to click on your 'profile's page'?

No. I don't know where you got that from..... O_o
He's saying that there are people trying to scam you to click on a link to a fake Windows Live website that downloads malware onto your computer.

On that note.....If you don't know the person just don't go to the link. :cool: but i would think that is common sense

I never imagined something as asinine as "LOL DIS IZ U CLIK HERE" would actually catch people.

I love it when my French IRL friends send me stuff in English about how they got a pic of me. Wrong language buddy.
