Some more info and removal instructions (Score 4, Informative)

Lolo has written a pretty good MySpace blog entry about this, along with some removal instructions (in the comments and in my post also). One of this guy's hobbies is exposing MySpace scammers. He actually predicted about a week ago that an exploit like this would happen. Friend him if you have a MySpace. I can't tell who came up with this information first, Lolo or these guys but Lolo may have gotten there first. Either way you need to read his blog posts if you use MySpace...

Please note that you can be infected by this virus by simply viewing an infected profile. It doesn't matter what browser you use, I was using Firefox 2.0 with AdBlockPlus and a decent filterset updater and was infected. I DO NOT believe it steals your password without going to the fake login page. So if your profile gets infected you are probably fine simply removing it

Here's how to remove it:

Use the FIND command or CTRL F to find the word LOGIN.

It starts with this line of code ... I have stripped out the first "

style type="text/css"
div table td font { display: none }
div div table tr td a.navbar, div div table tr td font { display: none }
.testnav { position:absolute; top: 136px; left:50%; _top: 146px

The code was at the very end/bottom of my ABOUT ME section.

It then continues with an obvious line of code for the menu choices. I stripped out the code and the page is fine ... FOR NOW!

To truly protect yourself you need to adblock the offending Quicktime object - or better yet all .mov files.
