Ok, I recieved an email today from "[email protected]" in Spanish.

It reads:
"una interesante tesis sobre este tema de conversasion que nunca pasa de moda"
And there's a "control panel extension" attachment, no virus.

Now I'm *not* downloading it, just wondered if you sent it to me, if so why and what is the attachment?
And if anyone can translate the mail for me, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Cheers lads, appreciated.

And the lesson here is never, ever open or download attachments if you're not 100% sure who it's from and what it is.

Thank christ I'm suspicious and untrusting of all y'all.

I got one from [email protected], and one from a mate from school like that. They probably didn't send the e-mails, because I know loads of people that got e-mails like I did, but the person that supposedly sent them didn't actually send them. It's confusing.

It's a Spanish virus concealled in the attatchment. Trust me. So do not open that attachment. It says on the virus scan that there is no virus but there is, and it makes this error message appear on your screen every 5 mins or something similar, and if you don't 'cure' it in 8 hours it deletes all files.

I'm smart, or maybe not. Just don't open the attatchment.

There have been a lot of people sending weird viruses around, chances are that it's that. If you have the right software it will negate it straight away.

Why can't the Hotmail virus scan work?

Ok. I put this through a translator program and the Spanish bit means:

"An interesting thesis upon this theme of conversasion that never passes fashionable"

Strange...
