big warning for msn users

[paladen]

I was just on msn and a guy with the email [email protected], hes from sythe but I forgot sythe name, forced my msn to accept a file I was able to decline it while it was being sent but if someone wasnt paying attention you will end up getting a virus from someone forcing u to download this.
note I am on a different comp of mine

It might be able to force you to accept the file, but I doubt it's possible to force you to open it.

So, If your away from the computer at times they will send it and it will force you to download it?

That's what I'm thinking but dont you have to open it to get the actual virus? That way, you can just find it and delete it without opening it first so you stay safe. Guys, don't take my word for it, I suck at computers.

This is why i only use a msn with 20 of my closest/most trusted friends and don't add anyone else.
