Twitter Virus Issues

Posted 04-13-2009 at 11:35 PM by GT

Hello, Warriors:

There was a big concern over the weekend about the "Mikeyy" virus on Twitter. Fortunately, I was not affected. For those of you concerned about it, here are a couple of news stories that shed more light on the issue and offer some ways to check whether or not your Twitter account is infected:

Twitterism.com: Twitter Worms: How To Tell If You’re Infected | Twittercism

Sheamus at Twitterism tells how to do a quick Twitter search to see if you are infectedby mikeyy:

Quote:
Sheamus said: If you tweet a lot it may take a while to work back through your timeline. An easier way to do this is to open a search query at Twitter Search. Enter your username and Mikeyy within the search box. For example:

sheamus mikeyy

Again, if you’ve been discussing Mikeyy this will show up in the search. But you’re looking for tweets you did not send. If you see any, then you are infected.
Sheamus offers a lot more info, too. Check it out.
