OT: Virus from 'support@microsoft' Options

[Mockmaw]

I don't know how people feel about wildly OT posts such as this, but security issues have been posted on other boards in the past.

There's a virus spreading like wildfire, at least here in Berkeley. It's a mail from 'support@microsoft.com' with an attached .pif file; the body of the message saying something to the effect of "all information is in the attached file."

The important details can be found at Symantec's site:

It's not particularly harmful except in terms of clogging networks and servers, but I figured I'd mention it in any case.

I know I'm being brief, I'll elaborate if others need more information/assistance.

Thanks for the warning. I always like to know when someone is trying to make my life a little more uncomfortable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
