Virus Alert 2

(the first being the Snow White Virus)

2 e-mails containing the virus were sent ot my Hotmail address, one yesterday, and the day before. I most likely will get another one today.

The virus is a Trojan.

This file is extremely large like the other one, which can only mean big trouble. The ".bat" file was written in ASCII. Soon, my friend Mark may get his hex editor and try to figure out where the virus targets.

Thanx for the warning!

Always make sure you don't open any attachement from people you don't know and you won't have any problems.

An advantage of speaking french: when I receive messages in english, it's usually spam or virus.

Just to test my new picture...

awfull

you should have keep the other one

(And he's a guy that sends me stuff that I need over e-mail... fortunately, the virus has a bug in it that stops it from working under NT/2K)
