Yet another Windows Live Messenger scam

If you have received an instant message from one of your contact with a link to x.imagecrisp.info or x.imagecroco.info with x being your contact name, kindly disregard this message and most importantly do not enter your password and windows live credentials on that web site!

Most likely that your contact's account has been compromised and those messages are sent without his knowledge.

If you have already entered your credentials in the rouge web site, change your Windows Live password as soon as possible. Although not tested, the logic is that bad agent will no longer have your password and won't be able to send messages on your behalf.

  1. Ok, but what to do about it? It seems like I have been sending this messege to one of my contacts. Is my computer infected with virus then, and how do I get rid og it? Currently I use AVG on af trial.

  2. Changing your Messenger password should do it.
