THE SKY IS FALLING

PANIC PANIC PAAAAAAAAAAANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC111.

Seriously, don't blow the teacup out of proportion.

A few things I see that wrong with the above message is:

1. Windows 98 does NOT have system restore
2. you / the message does not say how you get this virus or in other words how to prevent getting this virus

I think this is another fake message.

I second that.I have searched Mcaffee and Nortons No mention.
Looks like Lance4k could be a bit of a virus

How the heck do you get a virus when using messenger?
Even when messenger first started being used as a means of spreading viruses, I was like huh?
Do people still accept stuff when they don't know what it is, or from people they hardly chat to who all of a sudden do the Hey, look at this? I have 2 words that will prevent most viruses ... common sense

W32/Chode-F is a worm for the Windows platform.
W32/Chode-F sends a message to all MSN Messenger contacts with a link to a site that contains a copy of the worm.

The message will be one of the following:
LMAO, this is freaking me out!!
looooooool....check this out !!!
Automessage : download the new MSN update here!

Hej, you already updated your MSN?
Get the new MSN Messenger here :
Click here if you want more MSN emotions:

W32/Chode-F terminates a number of processes including those related to various AV and security applications.

W32/Chode-F includes functionality to silently download, install and run new software including an update of itself, initiate a proxy server on the infected computer
