Yesterday
while I was on MSN I received a virus and I wanted to warn
you all about it. This virus is called Malignancy. The way
the virus is spread is that you will receive a message from
one of your contacts that says "look it's you!"
with a link that has your e-mail address in it. If you click
on the link then you will be infected by the virus. It will
open up windows to all of your MSN contacts that are online
and send them the link also. The virus locates itself in your
temporary internet files and is called malignancy.exe.
It will also install other executable files in your temporary
internet files and even if you remove them they will come
back. The virus intalls spyware on your computer and gives
you annoying pop ups every few minutes, it doesn't do any
serious damage. Rebooting your computer in safe mode and deleting
the files seems to work since they didn't come back, but it
still leaves traces of the virus (other files that must be
hidden in other places) so no matter how I tried to uninstall
everything it put on my computer it didn't go away completely.
To fix the problem, I did a system restore to the day before
since it was easier and I knew it would delete everything
the virus had installed. I hope this message will help if
ever any of you get the virus or to keep you aware of it so
you won't click on the link ;-)
Now
let's get on to today's update! I have lots of drawings to
show you today and I'm very happy that I got to make a big
update this time. If you head on to the Art
Gallery, you will find 5 new drawings with some of them
that are sketches of new characters I started to design! I
hope you will enjoy looking at the new drawings!
I
will write again soon, so until then take care everyone!
