Clever people don't. With MSN M you can make your AV scan the file as it's being sent. |

People send them to you on MSN Messenger, sometimes they don't realise and sometimes the virus sends itself. |

Here's a new one: Watch out for instant messages -even when they come from good friends and family- which look like this: "OMFG! http://[some_domain_name]/handcuffs.pif" OMFG can be similar words, like LOL, LMAO, SO COOL or ROFL. This is a new worm, probably a Bropia variant, spreading around MSN Messenger disguised as a hyperlink to a file called handcuffs.pif (which is hosted on random domains, like for instance members.chello.nl/g.geurts). When you click the link and thus activate the download of this file, a jpg of a handcuffed girl will be extracted (which some of you didn't seem to mind) and in the background a similar message will be sent to online MSN Messenger contacts. Don't help this worm propagate... don't click links to .pif files! |
