How do you keep msgs in private groups private?

How to remove virus from YM? My friends keep sending me spam msgs & if I click, I will get the virus too?

  • I am trying to help a friend, she accidentally clicked on the link, get the virus rightaway. Norton antivirus unable to detect if there was any virus in her computer. But I get her spam msgs in YM all the time. Isn't those spam msgs are virus?

  • Answer:

    a) Don't click as many virus/malware steal other email addresses and user ID's to send their payloads. b) your standard AV (anti-virus) won't pick these up as they are malware not viruses. You'll need something like Ewido or AdAware for that :)

Scan the computer with your antivirus. Do not click any links from any one in IM. Those bogus links are a worm that is spreading around.

open the email. click spam go to options copy and paste the email address of the sender/s 2. if you are allowed to download the attachment scan with any other antivirus program ( AVG is free ) www.grisoft.com
