    Exclamation you have to be f*cking kidding ....myspace problem

    So, I log onto myspace, same as normal. As I'm in the middle of going back and forth catching up on some emails, I notice my main picture change in front of my eyes! It's a picture of three girls I don't know. Never seen them before in my life. So I changed my password right away in hopes that nothing else could happen, but I don't know how to get rid of this picture. Here's a link to the picture....

    I don't know what to do....does anyone know how I could get rid of it?

    Edit: OK, I grew a brain, and went into my pics and reset my default pic (this picture in question is nowhere in my pics....it just popped up as my main picture out of nowhere). So my new ?'s are....how did this happen without it being in my pics to begin with AND how do I prevent this from happening? I am super-careful with my password. I don't click on any of those stupid myspace tracker ads, or anything else.

    Go into edit pictures and delete it?

    It's like a phantom picture.....it was never in my pics to begin with. I checked after I saw it pop up. However, now that I reset my default picture, the fake one disappeared on my end, but if I sign out and look my account up, the one with the three chicks is still on it. Supposedly, it will take up to 24 hours to be updated. i just hope I caught it in time before any other craziness goes on. I immediately logged off, logged back on and changed my password, twice actually.

    i learned of a new virus type thing that you find by going to edit profile, then edit in safe mode, go to images and you will probably see a number of random pics that arent yours so you hav to delete your corresponding pics and re upload them. its twisted, i dont understand the why or how those pics are there, but its worth checking.

    Holy crap, you're right! At first, I couldn't figure out what you were talking about. But it's in the upper corner (safe mode). There ARE a bunch of weird pictures there, but I can't delete them, I can only edit the caption......I'll have to play with this a bit.

    So here's the update......it appears somehow that these mysterious pictures have somehow attached themselves to my pictures. I was only able to view them on "safe edit mode"-"images". You can't delete them from there, but based on your captions, you can see which files of yours they are attached to. From there, I went to the regular add/edit photos and deleted my pics that seem to have these "phantom" photos attached to them. (Note that I could NOT see the fakes in the 'regular add/edit photos' section!)

    I tried to re-upload my pics, only to go back into my "safe edit mode" section to see OTHER weird pictures that certainly didn't belong to me. So I just went back and deleted them again. I'll just try to redo it in a few days and see what happens.

    I had that too, so I just reloaded them. However I can't see anything once I reloaded in safe mode because none of the pictures worked, so I can't see if there's more.

    Where does this virus come from?

    Yeah.. I just got this bulletin:

    Hacker Alert!!!! please read and check...thanks Brit
    Check to see if you are hacked...
    yep they got me too ......it sucks

    an Add/Edit Photos Hack...

    Check your profiles for a HACK {little pricks...}

    ahemmm, you will need to go into Edit Profile...

    then Safe Edit Mode.....

    then click on Images.......

    if you have the HACK/VIRUS you will notice random Pics/images that you DO NOT have on your profile...

    You CANNOT see these images when you view your profile normally!!!!

    if you find these random Pics/images you WILL need to return to your main page and click on Add/Change Photo then DELETE the photo on your profile

    A good way to find the perp,
    type ??? in the caption line in the SAFE EDIT MODE,
    and when you return to the Add/Edit Photos page, you will see which one has been hacked...


    (remembering that the image you found on SAFE EDIT MODE will not appear on the page as you view it normally)

    ***if you find photos that are not yours, report to to myspace, like we have. go to the bottom of your screen and go to contact myspace, then select a topic and a suptopic for your message, like "other" then suptopic "issue is not in list" - click submit, then click in No, email customer service, then write something like this:

    there are bulletins on myspace about a worm virus that changes photos - and the only way you can view the photos if by going into safe mode and viewing your photos in edit my profile? i went into edit my profile in safe mode and to my photos section and there are someone elses photos there. This is happening to a lot of people. What is going on here!?!?!?
    Hasn't happened to me yet, thankfully.

    How the hell did this happen on my PRIVATE profile?! I'm VERY selective with the people I choose to have access to this profile. I got one photo attached to one of my other photos. Only one thankfully.

    I don't even want to think what my work profile is like... I can't get into it anyway as it was phished. How ? I just changed the password yesterday. I don't accept HTML comments so I can't get 'infected' via those trackers etc... so I'm waiting for myspace to get their ass into gear because I clicked on the link they sent via email to me to re-activate my account and I get the following:

    The function that you are currently trying to use is disabled and will be back shortly.

    We are making some minor changes to this section, please bear with us until we can get this back online.

    Please do NOT email me about this. Just wait it out. 20 Feb 2007 -Tom


    I need to access my work account damnit!!

    Oh for Christ sakes it's not a virus... people really need to look up the definition of virus.. it also seriously does NOT appear to be a hacker.

    It's probably just a site hiccup... really.

    virus

    A program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are manmade. A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems.

    (v) 1. To write program code.

    2. To modify a program, often in an unauthorized manner, by changing the code itself.

    (n) 1. Code that is written to provide extra functionality to an existing program.

    2. An inelegant and usually temporary solution to a problem.

    Also see hacker.
    I bet this entire thing is only happening because Myspace sucks and thought it would be a cool idea to move the image servers and forgot that one place... so when you reupload it goes to them again.

    By the actual definition of a virus.... no it can never be a virus. -.- I mean, really... a virus is exactly what I said....

    A virus is something that'll screw up your computer from the INSIDE by downloading it...

    by definition it is not a virus.

    It COULD be a hack... but that's soooo unlikely... why hack into myspace and change THAT? Really?

    Like I said, it's probably just a server error.

    Hoooly crap! That is so random and crazy! I don't want to delete and re load my pics though because I dont' want to lose my friends comments. So, people can't see them normally, they're just kind of there... in the background of the fuck-up that we call myspace? If no one sees them ever, I don't see the harm... No one ever sees them, right?

    I got a bulletin saying that it was in fact this, instead of a virus!!

    thats what i thought since there doesnt seem to be any problem with this. theyre just there, probably got mixed up in error fixing coding along the way

    You telling us that it probably wasn't a virus saved all of my picture comments. Thank you Lilith, because that would have been a pain in the ass to do all over again.
