I've been getting a few of those messages via msn linking to a site with the name youtube, but something else before like cz.youtube.com etc..

Good to know.

"We didn't go so far as to install the software, but our guess is that it zombies your computer, installs a keylogger, and other fun stuff".
Let's download the virus and have some fawn!

I'm invulnerable anyways; but who is stupid enough to click a link like that (it's pretty easy to tell whats legit and whats not based on the message and url), download any sketchy executable(especially if the video preview is of your profile pic, it could at least find a video or older pic or something), and run it? I guess I'd be surprised.

I never click random links anyway, so it's all good. Still, it sucks seeing people trying to mess with other people's stuff.
