hey guys, i was reading some news and came accross this:

article

and remember seeing something posted here on flexbeta
(a link) that was very similar... i dont recall the exact topic
name, but it did have a .pif and when clicked, nothing showed...

i guess that would be similar to what that dude posted in the forum recently..

yeah, that's what i'm referring to, lol

kinda funny the thing didnt load ..said cant connect to server so i didnt get anything and i removed the link and stuff...but i havent heard anything from Symantec about it ..but their Norton AV 05 protect's IM's from getting virus or them being transfered via IM

I've noticed this going around in my town heavly.. the main file was called "naked_drunk.pif"

It's win32.bropia.x

There is ALOT of IM viruses going around lately a few people have suddenly messaged me saying "accept this file" wiv funnyfilename.exe

Yeah rite....lol

Serves them right i suppose for not having any virus checkers installed lol

Dunno about you lot but I've never ever had a IM virus.

so stop freaking clicking everything u see lol. NOD32 scans all ur webpages u go to and i've found it very useful. not sure if anything else does, just a freebie i thought i'd throw out there
