I have also received 2 from Oscar at GMX. The messages themselves
are only about 20k and the decoded binaries about 13k. F-Prot
identifies them as W95/Badtrans.A@mm.
filename="searchURL.scr"
filename="Humor.TXT.pif"
I renamed them to search.exe and humor.exe, but of course all I
get is "This program cannot be run in DOS mode".
I suppose someone should try and contact Oscar and give him some
instructions to get rid of the virus or tell him to stay off the
'Net until he does. I found some stuff on the Web similar to what
you posted here, but I don't use MS-Windows at all, so I don't
feel inclined to spend any more time with this.
I know I can block (bounce) his address at GMX, but I'm not sure
if I can filter (delete) it. I'm going there now to check.
