Virus disguised as MSN Messenger beta
You might want to be careful about trying to install a beta for MSN Messenger 8: A virus masquerading as a new beta version of Microsoft's MSN Messenger has begun circulating, antivirus company F-Secure said on its blog Tuesday.  
 
The virus, which F-Secure calls Virkel.F, comes as a file called BETA8WEBINSTALL.EXE that can be downloaded from a Web site. Running the program installs not a new MSN Messenger beta, but rather a virus that sends download links to a computer user's MSN Messenger buddies. The virus falsely labels the link as "MSN Messenger 8 Working BETA." Of course, the filename may be something different so don't watch only for that one. Nothing like a good virus for the holidays, eh? CNET News.com   malware viruses beta software msn messenger microsoft
