Jan. 6 — Here’s a computer virus story that’s not an urban
legend. If you receive an attachment in e-mail called
“picture.exe,” don’t open it. If you do, what happens next
reads a bit like a spy novel — this Trojan horse drops two
more programs called note.exe and manager.exe which will
search through your internet cache directory and, if you
have
one, the directory that holds your America Online username
and password. It then encrypts that information, tries to
establish an Internet connection, and sends it all to an
e-mail
address in China.
