If you get a message on MSN telling you to visit a website that ends with cool.htm, I advise that you don't go to it.

It's not really a virus in that I don't think that it damages your computer, but just don't go to the link anyways.

if you want to crash someones computer:

1)ask them if they have smileys enabled(and make sure you have them off)
2) make :) with spaces in between untill you can't anymore
3) highlight everything and ctrl+c to copy
4) keep cut 'n pasting the batche of smileys for a long time untill he goes offline, this causes a drain in the memory making the system to hang up or crash .

Have fun :classic2:

Actually, if you go to that site, it will make you spam that URL to everyone on your MSN list. And it keeps replicating like that.

I'm sure they'll exceed their bandwidth limitations sometime. :cool:

From my sources, it doesn't do any damage to your computer, but is just plain annoying.
