LOOKOUT - VIRUS (was:Re: Re: (RADIATOR) Radiator accouting on mysql Mexico)

[Mariano Absatz]

Hi People, Hi Faez,

I know it's probably a little late... I'm setting high priority on this 
message, but as every mailer uses different means to do that, I guess 
many people won't notice that.

This morning (or whatever, depending on where in the world you are), I 
received a direct reply to each of the messages I sent to the list in the 
last days.

The format was the same ('My Name' wrote:, then the contents of my 
message indented with '-'s and a "Take a look to the attachment." note in 
the end). The attachment had different names but all simulating being a 
doc or zip file, having, in the end a ".pif" or ".scr" extension. I know 
many mailers, depending on the OS configuration, don't show the extension 
for known extensions, so you might not see it.

The attachment was, obviously, a virus, that my antivirus identified as 
"W32.Badtrans.13312 at mm" and the messages were apparently sent from a 
"Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6700".

Moral is... don't open attachments that you don't know exactly what they 
are EVEN if it seems a reply to a message of your AND it comes from a 
know person... here I don't know Faez, but I guess all of his friends 
received answers to real messages sent to him.

Faez, if you read this, please, clean up you computer.
