to all of you who use MSN.

if you recieve something through msn that says 'is that you on that photo?' with a link, don't open it.

The link is made to look like it will send you to a .jpg file, but what it actually does is mess up your computer. I haven't had it yet, but i was notified by a friend of mine, so i'm just passing the message on.

I use MSN, haven't got this thing yet, but I'm curious as to how it messes up the computer. I'll click on the link first change I get.

Thanks :D

whenever you receive a link to somewhere or a file.... say something like orly? if they respond then its probably legit. If not, dont click it.

God don't do this with email though, it basically just tells them that the email address is legitimate, therefore valuable, and then it'll automatically add you to one of those email lists that spammers buy.

Hehe, Quentin Tarantino shares your foot fetish too.

Ah, but why it's so inexplicable is because i don't have a foot fetish, never have. There's just something about the colours and the shape and the background, and then yes the figure of the feet. Maybe "turned on" was a bit strong though :P
