Agares Tretiak Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 So there's another virus that uses rather harmless looking attachments that are carrying the worm or virus? This is why I use an alias online. Anyone who knows me will address it to my real name or another alias I might be known under. Makes handling spam and rugged emails easier.

Cygna Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Thanks Yoko.Thank god I don't open attachments unless expected (expected as in lab reports from lab companions, homework assignments from teachers, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablos Korobase Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm the same as Intus, I only open attachments I've been expecting from people I trust.I did once get one of those ones that sends it to everyone in Your friends list, thankfully it was just one of those annoying spam ones.But thanks for posting this Yoko, I hope everyone reads it and take note of it.

Trevor Russell Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Not to be a downer but...This is nothing new. Viruses have been doing this for quite some time.This is why I use non-standard software (Linux, Pidgin, webmail apps) because they are less likely to have the same flaws that the major programs attack (Windows, Outlook, Live Messenger).
