I revieved an e-mail today with a virus/trojan in it.
Now I know that I didn't send it to anyone because I'm using a e-mail program that does not auto launch file attachments.
I just wanted to warn people thou to watch out for stuff like this.
It comes under the e-mail subject heading of "Cool Screensaver" It says it from [email protected] The file that is attached is called screen_doc.pif and its about 50k in size.
If you get it, just delete the e-mail. Don't launch the attachment. This is not something Microsoft would do.
