Can the "Hey Everybody Im watching G** P***!" Trick/virus harm your computer

Question

So I got tricked into clicking the link that causes your screen to display lots of disturbing images while some guys yell "Hey everybody Im watching g*y p***" I opened task manager to stop firefox...but am wondering if there is something else anywhere on my computer that I should be worried about....Also I read that the trick sends emails to your email list if you have it open...I had yahoo open, how can I tell if it sent anything?

Answer 3

well u should hav a look in ur yahoo accounts sent box. And u will no whether it had sent anythng or not.

Then u shud clear all d add ons in fire fox and uninstall them besides dis also clear all d cookies and history.

And it would b better if u unistall d firefox and use internet explorer or opera instead !!

Scan ur computer with good antivirus like kaspersky

u can download d trial version from

www.kasperskylabs.com

Answer 4

when 'viruses' send e-mails out through your account it is usually referring to using software based e-mail clients address books. not web based, as this would involve the code getting into your web mail.

The chances are though as you're running fire fox, which is a much securer browser then Inert Exploder even if you did have ur contacts list open, no e-mails would have been sent.

this sounds like mainly a java script based trick, and simply by looking through ur options menu you can disable most of the tricks it uses to prevent you from closing the tab normally.
