Hi all,
Recently I was sent a message through MSN from a known contact which had a
link which I stupidly clicked on, which of course put spyware on my PC. I
believe I have succesfully removed this. It does not appear to be a virus
because I have scanned my entire PC with AVG and McAffee, both of which
found nothing.
Fortunately a friend of mine who automatically got the same link from my
MSN messenger, was smart enough not to click it, and actually sent me the
link on my email. I want to submit this to Microsoft so they can do
something with it, and add it to their Windows Defender product or
something, but unless I am missing something, they only allow you to
submit files which you believe are infected...
Now obviously I am not clicking it again and infecting my machine just so
I can send the files... Is there anywhere which I can forward the email
with the dodgy link in so they can deal with it?!
No. Let it go.
