Myspace Problem, potential virus

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I just typed in the address for my myspace page (www.myspace.com/robert_the_mumble) but before the page can load fully a message comes up saying:
You must restart your computer before the new settings will take effect. (do you wish to do it now yes or no)

I also visited the mumbles' myspace page (www.myspace.com/themumblesofficial) and the same message appeared.

I clicked no on both occasions so I haven't restarted yet. Is this happening on anyone elses myspace page, is it a virus/spyware? :( :?

I guess it is related to some trouble with the ever present Flash Player. When I visit youtube or Myspace, my Browser freezes all the time when I try to shut a window/tab when using firefox. Tried Galeon a few minutes ago, no problems encountered. By the way, I use Linux, so at least viruses for Win can´t affect me at all..

I had a chain mail on MySpace some days ago, declaring that you had to forward said message to twenty other friends to check your activity, and it came from Tom, the head honcho, allegedly.

Pointless to say I binned it with no further thinking...

But nothing like your thingy, thank god...

Windoze has detected that the mouse has been moved. You must restart your computer before the new settings will take effect.

If you think it´s worth the trip this might be fun. Never mind the hundreds of quid for the fare..

Well I ran a virus scan and an ad-aware scan (before I restarted) and it found nothing, restarted did the same again, found nothing.

all appears to be running smoothly in WinME land :P

But I think I opened it with my PC earlier on today too without trouble...

TOP find! :notworthy:

I will post this on some Homerecording sites as well...

"Say you've just bought Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon", released as a Super Audio CD (SACD) in its 30th anniversary edition in 2003, and you want to play it under Vista. Since the S/PDIF link to your amplifier/speakers is regarded as insecure for playing the SA content, Vista disables it, and you end up hearing a performance by Marcel Marceau instead of Pink Floyd."

;D
