Seems that the Trojan horse/virus writers have concluded that phony photo attachments are the thing that will get people to execute them. A new one has started the rounds, and undoubtedly will hit someone on this list who might then pass it on to all of us since it spreads by using the Outlook address book. This one is much nastier than the last couple that have passed through, though, since it will trash your Windows set-up. ZDNet alert follows. _________________________________________________ A new computer virus appears to on the loose, and this one can do real damage. It masquerades as an attachment called "NakedWife.exe" in an e-mail with the subject line "FW: Naked Wife." If opened, it deletes any files in the Windows and system directories with DLL, INI, EXE, BMP, and COM extensions. The virus also uses Microsoft Outlook to spread. After sending the e-mail, the virus displays a dialog box titled "Flash" and the contents, "You're now F***ED! (c)2001 by BGK (Bill Gates Killer)." The virus so far has hit computers in at least 68 organizations in the United States and Europe. _________________________________________________ Fuller discussion at: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2693088,00.html Bob - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
