And the one's I've been getting are for like 5 seconds. That's what scares me about it. I have a friend who went to repy to his friend from twitter only to get a very bad virus, took him 5 hours to find how to get rid of it...............

ksedwar Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Your welcome. If you do ever accidentally open a message that has a virus just remember to exit out of the page without clicking anything. As long as you don't allow anything to download you can usually get away without infecting the computer or mobile device. If you can't exit the page then just push and hold the power button until the computer or device shuts down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
