    A friend of mine just had the text

    "@2My 55patience2 has its limits..."adsfasdf

    inserted into an IM conversation automatically. I suspect a virus.

    Has anyone else had something similar involving text inserted etc happen?

    We see more and more viruses embedded in IM clients, HTTPS traffic, Video streaming (Flash, RealPlayer...), PDF files etc.

    A virus is no longer a program you receive by email (Less than 3% of global internet email traffic contains viruses).

    A virus is a lot more vicious nowadays
