New MySpace virus going around

Beware for any MySpace page that displays: “This profile contains adult content.  CLICK HERE to install MS Viewer.”

What you’ll get is far from adult content.  You will be infected with a variant of the Zlob Trojan.

    It does sound like you have a virus. What operating system are you running?

    Secondly do you have all of your Windows Updates?

    Are you experiencing any of these errors on any other web pages besides MySpace?

    If you’re able to, I highly suggest downloading Ewido aka AVG Anti-Spyware from: http://downloads.grisoft.cz/softw/70/filedir/inst/avgas-setup-7.5.0.50.exe.

    Install that program, update it, and run a scan while in safe mode. In order to get into safe mode you need to restart your computer and as soon as it restarts continue to hit the F8 key on your keyboard. You’ll eventually see a list of options; you want to select safe mode. Go into safe mode and log into your user account. From there run the AVG progrma and have it do a complete scan. Let it remove whatever it finds and restart. Check to see if it’s any better.

    If you’re on a Mac, I’m not too sure what else you can do. I highly doubt that you’re infected with a virus or a piece of spyware. Do you know if you have all of your updates that Apple puts out? Try using FireFox or Opera if you can to browse the site.

    yes, i switched to fire fox but still no joy! This is really odd?

    i have to check myspace at internet cafes now…….its ridiculous!

    if you thinks of anything else i can do let me know…Anyways, thanks so much for the advice…….AGAIN!

    cheers, A

    Hi guys. My computer is doing the exact same thing as cheers, A’s computer was doing…whenever I log into myspace I get the runtime errors page. My mac is acting normal other than that…I can’t figure out what is wrong. I noticed your post was from back in March…so did you ever get it fixed? And if so…how?
