Regardless of your answer the second message is "wanna laugh?)))" And the next answer will give you will receive a link. Once pressed you will see the page that looks very much like youtube and the video will tell you to upgrade your flash player. CAUTION Do not press TO DO THE UPGRADE. OYTE THE PAGE YOU IS youtube NOR THE FILE IS SET TO FLASH PLAYER.<br />If you look at ADDRESS TO THE PAGE YOU WILL SEE THAT went INSTEAD OF YOUTUBE HAS NUMBERS. THIS PAGE IS IN RUSSIAN SERVER and the program refers aims to collect data from your computer. This file is not a virus and antivirus you probably will not recognize it as a threat.Kostashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592201518579146958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-90153856983981960762011-08-24T14:27:25.017+03:002011-08-24T14:27:25.017+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kostashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592201518579146958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-35310482480967968892011-08-22T23:08:33.524+03:002011-08-22T23:08:33.524+03:00i am on Linux, i could even ran the malware withou...i am on Linux, i could even ran the malware without consequences!<br /><br />i am not that close to those persons to ask if they are aware (and since they are in a different country, don't have another communication channel). however, i know another person who was fooled and installed itnicuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787116898361050437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-39255224646029052642011-08-22T22:33:43.830+03:002011-08-22T22:33:43.830+03:00As long as you did not download adobeflash.exe you...As long as you did not download adobeflash.exe you're ok. Clicking the link by itself does nothing.<br /><br />My approach to this was "I did nothing special so a video about me getting popular on the web must be fake." I also received two of these simultaneously form two friends with the same "wanna laugh" greeting. Needless to say this is as far as I got. <br /><br />Does anyone know if the person the malware is impersonating is aware of the chat?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-45566631686014038572011-08-21T23:53:37.778+03:002011-08-21T23:53:37.778+03:00tinyurl is an URL shortening service, it can go to...tinyurl is an URL shortening service, it can go to harmless addresses or to malware... most of the time is used for goodnicuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787116898361050437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-73909610789728202162011-08-21T16:42:07.237+03:002011-08-21T16:42:07.237+03:00i only clicked on tinyurl.com few minutes ago but ...i only clicked on tinyurl.com few minutes ago but nothing happened YET! is it ok if I closed the window ? i donw wanna reinstall the whole windowsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-53543661426509034522011-08-21T15:54:51.085+03:002011-08-21T15:54:51.085+03:00i get tinyurl today, 5 minuts later pc restarts an...i get tinyurl today, 5 minuts later pc restarts and again and again<br />i will reinstall win7<br />or maybe someone could help and say what to do now<br />help asappawelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389728530481019590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-67167735046826198062011-08-20T05:26:02.347+03:002011-08-20T05:26:02.347+03:00"the numeric URL is the first thing to give i..."the numeric URL is the first thing to give it away as malware, unfortunately some browsers, like Chrome, will hide the URL bar by default, leaving the user more vulnerable (Furefox is expected to blindly copy this feature too, making even more naive users vulnerable)"<br /><br />I am not sure where you got that from, but Chrome certainly does not hide the URL bar by default. There are mockups of UI experiments, but they are just that. Both Firefox and Chrome developers are quite aware of the phishing problems of hiding the URL bar, as well as the problems of relying on it for most people.<br /><br />Perhaps you have confused this with hiding the http://, which has none of these problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-46988716599749775772011-08-19T19:41:30.549+03:002011-08-19T19:41:30.549+03:00cool!
