Viral infection

Someone recently hacked my facebook account or something. He's sending every single one of my friends viral messages. Facebook keeps on automatically closing when I try to load it to set things right. The message he sends includes a link to a pornographic site, which is frankly ANNOYING. I'm getting this flood of e-mails from concerned Christian friends who think I'm linking them to a porn site. No, I say. I've been hacked. Blah blah blah. A couple of the people who know me better (Including Heather but not including Douglas) have figured out that I've been hacked. Heather advised that I suspend my account but I have no idea how to do that.

Also, I am REALLY hoping that I have no virus on my computer. If the virus does nothing but send annoying messages to my friends, then fine. They might hate me, but they'll probably figure out what's going on pretty quickly because that particular link also includes a trojan horse for their computers. They got bugged. (Also this hacker is a terrible speller. Anyone who knows me won't even OPEN that message.) I just hope this guy isn't the type of comic who thinks its funny to completely destroy computers. THAT WOULD SUCK LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

  1. *Gasp!* It's the delayed Conficker virus!!

    Hmm...I gather that Douglas sent you a long, scary "rebuke email." Well, at least that means his computer hasn't died yet. That's good news.

  2. Maybe you and Andrew could reverse-engineer the virus, recreate it, and send it back to the hacker.

  3. Yeah. It's a nasty world. I read today about a woman whose blog was completely deleted (seven years of posts) and her email account was totally shut down. She lost everything because someone maliciously chose to make her life miserable. More reason to choose weird and obscure passwords. (My isp recently made me choose new passwords because mine were too hackable.)

  4. I delete everything you send me anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.
