G'day just a heads up on a Trojan that has been around since August 20. Flypuppy and myself got hit with it today. It uses Microsoft messenger to transfer.
It starts by asking if you want to see a new pic that was taken yesterday. If you say yes, it then starts the transfer. If you aren't careful, like myself, you'll miss the .exe attachment. ie PIC1324(1)(3)(1).exe
When you try and open it, it says it is corrupted.
It only menaces messenger and is easy to clean.
