Not another Virus... I just got rid of the Daemon@hotmail one and the Bugbear... #@/>

The most annoying ones are the Spanish ones. They are really big so they clog up Hotmail, and they're so annoying. You see if I am apparently sending stuff to other people does that mean I have a virus? Ta.

I keep getting blank e-mails off people I don't know

Oh and on a further note.....

Lie Hell I did, I ahdn't even heard of *cough* "KOF" *cough* (BAD JOKE ALERT). It's obvious that this is going to be a virus, so I'd be wary if I was you.

maddmun i keep getting these emails aswell.
also this from this woman who always has an attatchment of 46/48kb which is ever described as a "screensaver" or a "picture"

I keep getting porn emails, from the same plavce, but about 2000 different emails, and I can't take my name from it's mailing list!! GAH!!!

Nah, my e-mail said....
*Opens Hotmail*

Subject: "Wanna be friends?"

Message:
"Hello,
I just came across your email ID while searching in the Yahoo profiles.
Actually I want a true friend 4 life with whom I can share my everything.
So if you are interested in being my friend 4 life then mail me.

If you wanna know about me, attached is my profile along with some of my
pics. You can check and if you like it then do mail me.
I will be waiting for your mail.

Best Wishes,
Your Friend.. "



OK, quite strange since I have never, ever been a member of Yahoo! (*shudders*)

And a profile and pics as a screensaver?
Ok, it could have been a slideshow screensaver, but very much doubt it I do.

Hmmm, wonder what would happen if I replyed. They seem to say "mail me" a lot, so it's probably not a good result if you do.

Ach well. My first virus! Hurru! I think....
*goes of to reply...*

Oh, and another strange thing, I haven't seemed to be able to receive e-mails lately, so it's quite strange that this got through.

I can't receive any e-mails at all, I got countless people to test it.
*mumble* Stupid MSN... *mumble*

Haha, open the attachments, as thye rock.

(Hint: do not do as AJ says - they all contain viruses)

Ahem.
