Happy new year everyone.
Anyway, I decided to download a screensaver via Hotmail today. As everyone who uses it knows, Hotmail scans for viruses in attachments using McAfee and up to now, I completely trusted it. But not anymore! As soon as the file was downloaded, this pop up appeared:
Virus Identified I-Worm/Yaha.K
is found in file (file location)
I only knew about this virus because of AVG - but what of the thousands of others who trust Hotmail's virus checking system? No doubt they will probably have viruses on their system.
On a releated matter, I can't find the file - the pop up windows says it's in the Temp Internet Files folder in the COntent.IE5 folder, but there was no such folder (or any, for that matter) in the Temp Internet files. Anyone have an idea where it's stored?

Heh, I haven't restarted my PC for weeks now - just put the thing into hibernation and it's sorted. I don't think I've closed my Internet Explorer windows for some time, either.
THAT F**ing virus! I got that virus! ANYONE THAT GETS THE VIRUS! DO NOT RESTART YOUR PC< IF YOU HAVE A VIRUS CHECKER
:)
No, it's that Norton one.
:p
Isn't it McAfee's Anti-Virus on Hotmail? possibly the best virus scanning software ever..(if kept updated)

I don't think it's possible to stop every single virus 24/7 but you only need 1 to mess up your system.

Got two yesterday both were 47k so I searched for the subject line on Google and realised it's a virus.
