Theres a virus going round at the moment over MSN.

You may get a message from one of your contacts saying something like 'Do you think this picture is too kinky for myspace?'

Then a file transfer will pop up as though your contact is sending you a pic. Its a zip file that if you accept the file it will download a password worm onto your computer and will attack yuor registry.


So just a quick heads up about this - a couple of my friends have just been hit by this over MSN!

Yea, I got one too from someone whose old email addres was still in my contacts list but no longer used that address, it said something like "new house pics", but I knew they hadn't moved so I deleted it without opening it.

Some sneaky people out there!!
