Lucky for Microsoft, it wasn't send by Microsoft.
I just noticed your new avatar! I just started watching those Internet cartoons!
Pretty cool.

The point was, it said microsoft, so it had to go :D
I love the foamy vidoes, it's too bad I have dial-up, that connects at 19.2kps :'(

But anyway, what type of virus is it, jst a worm or something?

I am not sure. My AV scanner didn't detect the attachment, more likely for one or two reasons. Its probably a new virus, and it was not downloaded, yet.

There's another email going around, unfortunately, each time I open it, it downloads a new piece of spyware to my system. I should probably scan right now, actually.

This is better than the time when I had 19+ virus emails...

They're fake senders, unfortunately, so a WHOIS on their IP came up empty. :-/

There's a bunch of these going around now!
(I usually get targeted for virus spam) (and spam in general)
I once got over 20 virus emails. My step dad was enthusiastic....

This forum is going slow again. Its getting boring. All this heat wave crap has everyone away from their computers, right?
That's probably what happened to the admin...

And now I am installing MSN Messenger on my step dads computer, hoping he never finds out...

Just let me get Internet in my room, and it will be all better...
