New MSN Worm

There is a new MSN virus going about now, and has been doing for the past 3 or 4 days.

It spreads through Messenger and connects to a website to display an image on the infected computer. It also disables a number of functions on the computer.

The virus sends itself to your contacts, so don't accept files named:

* Beautiful Ass.pif
* John Kerry as Super Chicken.scr
* Kool.pif
* Me & you pic!.pif
* Me Pissed!.pif
* sexy.pif
* She could fit her Ass in a Teacup.pif
* she's ****in fit..pif
* titanic2.pif

It's spreading quite fast, so I thought I'd just give you a warning 'cause it pretty much ****s up your PC.

Also, if you think you might have it, say, then I will tell you how to delete the specific files.

This is dumb. Every computer user should know not to run .pif files.

I'd estimate that about 95 percent of computer users don't even know what a .pif is.
