Within minutes I changed my password. I later closed my account. I did not have any contacts in my contact list. I spoke with a buddy of mine and he had recieved the email from my address. Why did he recieve the email? A while back, I deleted all of my contacts from my list. They may still have me on theirs. Is it possible that the email is sent to anyone who has my email as a contact on their list? Hello,

I have no idea how long they would keep the information in their database. I guess one way is to make a fake account to experiment? I’ve never thought about that.

I clicked it and entered information (Yea i know it was stupid, I was tired) right after i knew i had been scammed, so I changed my password. But is there really NO chance of getting my good ol' password back? :/ I just got an email from a friend with a link to one of these sites.

Have you tried clearing your cache? I'm not a computer/IT expert so the advice I can give is really limited. Hi Tara, how is the situation now? Have you tried clearing your cache?

When the virus sends links over msn to other people, I don't think a window pops up on the affected account or email doesn't appear in sent folder. So the only way they find out is when other people tell them about it. It never hurts to check things out with them first! That’s true.

My 'friend' at school was trying to get me to use a website like this and before i did i researched it. I found that it was a complete virus and minutes after i researched it her msn name popped up and started having links to it. I got an email from a different friend last night and this website showed up and i thought it might be better - it said it was secure... but the link itself didn't say 'https' so i googled it and found this! Just a reminder when ever a msn window pops up about any website - tell the friend about it. They probably don't realize they have the msn virus so warning them is a huge help. THANK YOU!
