i think it was put in general as it may affect a large chunk of the community as most use msn.

Agreed.This is better off in SGW General. As it pertains to the SGW community. Users are getting viruses due to other players.

First and foremost, never click on anything that begins this way. It usually ends with stupid webcam at the least. The black market slave you thought "Fell in love with you at first sight" has never even seen your picture. She's just being forced to pose at gunpoint.

If you use myspace enough, you can smell a web cam scam from a mile away.

In this case, I reckon, its a virus being transmitted. Yes, friends can send you this too. He probably got his account phished and had nothing to do with it though! Keep that in mind.

As an April fools joke, I may send some of my contacts a similar link (except it will not actually be a virus, DUH) and if they click it, they shall see "WTH are you doing here, n00b!!!!" ^^

With a link to this post.

I plan to educate people about the dangers of MSN. o yea!

edit: AVG is so damned slow. It wants to scan every morning practically, and while it does that, it pretty much freezes everything else. Blame my oldish laptop, but I blame AVG. I can't really attest to AVG's efficiency, though, as either it sucks or I'm an expert at keeping out malware, for it can never find anything.

You can disable that option. If you got the newest one it stay running and alert you if it senses a problem. Otherwise it wont scan until you tell it to.

Lol use Mcafee correctly and the right version and you will c why Mcafee is the best Virus scanner out there and why most security people say use this .

They're all paid off I don't think Microsoft would even use it otherwise. I don't care how you use it it just blows LOL.
