Damn it. Virus-designers sure know how to attract us via our egos!
I clicked the link v v stupidly as well (though alarm bells were ringing in my mind) and downloaded the thing… I ran it through my anti-virus, which found nothing, and decided to check it out. Almost as soon, I ended the task, deleted the file and removed it from my waste basket. I googled the file name and found a facebook thread discussing how to remove it. I searched both in and out of safe mode the name “splm” (incl hidden files) and found nothing. So far my computer seems ok. It doesn’t look like I’ve “posted” the virus on anyone’s wall… but am still feeling paranoid (and STUPID) I’ve emailed Norton and posted a warning on my profile…

anyway, thanks for the heads-up. By now, surely anti-viruses should have it in their database, no?

I got that Sunday morning at 2:42 AM, this is what mine said:

(click open or run when prompted)”

It’s basically the same thing with a different web address. I was curious, and like a moron clicked the link. It took me to a google page load error. I never downloaded or ran anything. I supposed they spelled the URL wrong? I’m hoping I’m one of the lucky ones. I’ve done a little more research and apparently there is a variant that downloads the virus when you click the link, but it was a very different URL. Should I be worried?
