Damn, there seem to be a virus in my Windows Live Messenger recently. My friends told me that I've been sending them a message containing a link. The problem is that I wasn't even online when all of these happened. To all who are viewing this, PLEASE DO NOT click on the link that comes with a message that I send you because it contains a virus which'll mess up your Windows Live Messenger.
I can't sign into my Windows Live Messenger now because of some password problems, probably due to the virus. It'll take some time before I can solve this problem. I was also told that the automatic message was being spammed repeatedly to those in my contact list. So, I would like to apologise to everyone in my contact list who received the anonymous message with the link. Sorry for all the inconvenience caused.
Meanwhile, I've been researching online about this virus that seem to only affect Windows Live Messenger. Apparently, when the virus is in action, it opens and closes WLM windows repetitively (presumably sending the virus in the same way as I received it). It's happened to quite a few people independent of the apparent chain I'd got myself into, so I assume it's more widespread than I thought. There are many different versions of this virus. Sometimes, it appears as a zip file from a friend in your contact list. It is named 'photo album'. When you extract and run the file inside, the virus would start to spread.
While in other versions, it'll ask you to look at some summer vacation photos by clicking on a link. Anyway I heard that this virus is very hard to remove, so I'm in for some big time. Thats all for today, bye.

I'm someone who is shy, especially towards girls because all my life I've been studying in a all boys school. I only have a brother and almost all of my cousins are guys too, so I can't help it (: However, I really open up when I know my friends well enough, we'll do things together, have fun together and maybe even study together? haha
