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.

It's Sheepy's fault. Everyone blame Sheepy.

Downloading pirate games from kazaa. Tut tut.

And no, not like Monkey Island.
