Canadian cousin in MSN virus on Mac shocker!

[MarcLister]

I have a cousin in the land of Canadia. Since ooh 5 weeks ago he's had a virus on MSN. His MSN will sign in and then a message window will pop up with a link to go to. I've never bothered with the link as it is pretty darned obvious the link is dodgy. Plus his account then signs him out.

Now I am fed up with my serene internet browsing being interrupted with this rubbish so I sent my cous a message on Facebook. He told me he is on a Mac laptop.

So seeing as I have 0% knowledge of Macs can any enlightened people suggest me some tips on how I can help cous Kyle rid himself of the shame of having a virus on a Mac.

Cheers fini. I will try that.

Brutal but true. Made me laugh anyway.

Yeah I've got to tell him this though!

And yes, your cousin sounds like he needs a crash course in how to avoid being socially engineered before he gets a tempting offer from one of our Nigerian friends...

He's just signed into MSN and no link so its him and perhaps we are sorted. However when I said "Hi" he said "brb" so got to wait a little bit longer.

I'll ask him. When he comes back online.
