ok... first off, if anyone knows anything about this, or has advice on how to fix this, please let me know.... im not going to go around repairing permissions or doing some crons task... so dont bother suggesting it....im a little tense at the moment, so excuse my slight sarcasm in some of my comments in this post...
this is my issue:
I have a mail account at college (penn state), and just today i recieved 2 messages (see image 1) from some U.S. National Bank or something... anyway, i knew it was fake... and just wanted to see what the link took me to (figuring it was either a funny webpage which asked to you put in your card number/pin on your ATM card, or something silly like that.)
So i opened the email... (see image 2) and that is what it said.
so, i click on the link..which is http://210.118.170.142/swf/ (WARNING... I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT SWF FILE DOES, CLICKING ON IT MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER)
so..i figured it was a flash file... swf.. but i failed to notice that it was a directory and not just a .swf... so clicking on the link did nothing at all...
notice, there was 2 of these messages... one with that link, and one with the link to the ip address alone... i clicked on the other link, which produced image # 3
ok... now... obviously it was some sort of virus or something... but anyway, it seemed to do nothing (like every other virus ive found... i click them for fun because nothing has ever previously affected mac...so ive tried to open the .exe files and stuff, or send them to my friends on winxp and stuff and laugh at them lol... )
anyway... what now happens is:
i click on a link in my inbox and what displays is image #2.... so i click on some other emails... and what i notice is, the virus switches the link of one email with the next... so i go to click on a message from a friend, and up pops a message from a forum... i click on the message from a forum, and up pops a tracked package from a few weeks ago....i click on the tracked package, and up pops an email from someone else...and so on... each link has a new destination...... although all the emails are still there, the links dont match up to what the title to them says they should be.
holy ****, someone help me!!!!!!!
if someone tells me to repair permissions i will make sure you get a virus!
