I too have Yahoo messenger, and believe me, it is also spread that way! Consider the fact that programs such as trillion are out there that allow users to chat with people on MSN, AIM, Yahoo, etc. all from the same application, therefore no messenger is safe.
I had the Trojan version of the antivirus2009 virus, and was able to get rid of it with malware bytes, however, I had this other version of it to, and all malwarebytes did was take away the main source, so I no longer had symptoms of it.
However, I was asked by a friend why I had tried to send her a file over the weekend, and I hadn't been online at all, I had remebered reading this thread and asked her to not open it, then sent messages to everyone on my list. I ren both programs, and want to say a big thank you!
Now I have to figure out how deal with another little problem that A squared found but wasn't able to fix lol. Oh well, so is the life of computer user, right?
