ever see this while checking yer mail?
if you dont know what it is (shame on you), its indicitive of a virus
anytime, you recieve an email that has an attachment of this sort, DO NOT OPEN IT. more than likely you will be infected immediately, and unless yer running an up to date anti-virus, yer in trouble
that email\'s sender went by a name on this forum and a good freind of mine, and i know it wasnt sent intentionally, which ill explain later
i dont run any anti-virus cause there a waste of time to me, plus i like dealing with PC problems, its what i do for a living
so i threw caution to the wind, unplugged from my router and ran the extension
sure enough, after rebooting, winXP was a dog. extremely unstable and unresponsive. something was gobbling up cycles and resources like there was no tomorrow
so i visited an online antivirus site to see what i could find
http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start corp.asp
sure enough, damned klez
klez is a nasty little bugger, cause it replicates (will resend itself to other addresses in yer emails) and will attach itself to other files and hide in yer system
its easily removed, but to not risk anyone else, delete yer email address book before running email again
so, in conclusion
if you get an email with an attachment (even if its from someone you know)
DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!you can click on the email header, and that 1st screen above will pop up,
click cancel! and delete the email from yer inbox, AND from the "deleted items" folder
oh, and i know you didnt do it on purpose, Eik
i still wub j00!
