"MSN Virus Warning..."

Another virus is going round called PIC1234.exe. I discovered this when Big Red Machine from FOG tried to send it to me. I looked the the extension and it was .exe, so I knew that it was suspect. I delcined the download and I wondered why he would try and send it to me.

Then, I approach Ant on MSN and he is also infected. He also wants to send me the virus but it is in exactly the same wording as Big Red Machine's invitation. Ant informed me that it was automated and there was nothing he could do about it. He tried to delete it but it said "Access Denied".

I have just been informed by Big Red Machine that the username of the person is "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor" and his real name is Tony ( not from SR :D ).

So, under all circumstances, do not accept any pictures that have an .exe extenstion. Infact, only download picture with the extensions .jpg, .bmp, or .gif, unless you are 100% sure that the file is a picture.

Thank you for taking your time to read this. The hunt goes on for this "Tony" character.

Its quite easy to bind an exe into a jpg.

if it says (1) or (1)(1) after it that means the dumc person sending ti you accepted the file more than once because you cant have to same file names so the comp puts a (1) after the name

Yes Big Slow, this is coming from Mystique.
