There's a virus floating around on MSN, which I've got from 3 people on here. Allardini, Sheepy, and Dan2K2.

The hotmail virus scan doesn't detect it as a virus, but Nortons Antivirus 2001 does. I had a chat with Asher D on MSN the other day, and I know he's got the one from Sheepy as well.

Basically, if you have an email from anyone on here, with a weird title and an attachment around 300k DON'T DOWNLOAD IT!

It IS a virus, even though the Hotmail attachment scan thing says it's clean.

Yeah, I received one, but it said it was from me. I didn't send it, someone must have hacked into my account.....

I also got a weird thing from Sheepy.

Wasn't me!

I got all three, but I didn't open them, andd reading this, I'm glad I didn't! I found it especially strange as I don't think I was on their contact lists

I use Outlook Express, and it just automatically downloads any new email I've got, so there wasn't much I could do! :-D

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
