(((( Did they block you too? Download a free MSN Block Checker www.block-checker.com))))


they didnt send it!!! the program generates it by its self

good thing im too stupid to try and download stuff, i got an email like that and just deleted it. looked like too much work. if someone has blocked me why do i care enough to want to know, if they dont want to talk to me what are they to me?? nothing thats what.

but yeah.....thanx for the heads up.....lol

any straneg links posted on MSN asking " is this you" or download this! are always wise to close and block that person. its wat i do then i email them they they will be remaining blocked untill they email me back to let me knwo they have removed any viri from their system
joker4r
as soon as i saw what it was doing to there msn, it was going spazo sending msg, that i know it wasnt from them, i like, quick go to add removed program, and deleted half of it ,not the main progam it was useing, so i had to reboot, and delete it manually b4 i windows had finished rebooting all the program. it wouldnt let me delete it b4 cuase it was running in the back ground, to cut a long story short, got it all in the end and ran viruse, and spyward/adware progames to get the rest of it b4 i connected back to the net

ya'll must have dodgey as pc's my comp d/l it's saw that it was a virus or a "hijacker" i think and then deleted all traces...all ya have to do is ran a virus and spyware scan weekly or a couple of times a week it's so easy lol
