I find it worrying how desperate some of you seem to be to get onto MSN. Have you spoken to anybody about this? :P

Just saw this on the Computer Buyer website...

"A new virus has been discovered that targets the MSN Messenger instant messaging application.
Funner.A has no destructive properties, although it will make a nuisance of itself by sending a copy of itself as funny.exe to all contacts found in the application.

Once run, it copies itself locally and makes Registry edits so that it continues to run in the background when the computer is restarted.

It also attempts to connect to hundreds of Asian language websites.

The arrival of Funner yesterday coincided with intermittent problems suffered by the MSN service as a whole over the weekend. But Microsoft responded that the two incidences are not related.

Security vendors have not rated Funner as a high threat. Certainly the outage of the MSN service will have hampered its progress. McAfee rates it a two out of seven on its threat level, and Symantec gave it two out of five. According to security company Secunia, Trend Micro was the first to identify the Funner worm.

Even so, the potential for worms spreading via instant messaging clients is great, due to the spontaneous nature of using it. Whereas most people will read email when they have the spare time to do so, instant messages demand an immediate response as the service works in real time. IM users are also more trusting as they assume that the exchange is between a known contact rather than an infected application."
The best thing about being dead is you no longer have to say "I wish I were dead".

The best thing about being alive is you can still say "I wish I were dead".
