Just received this from you via MSN



Hey, is this really you? http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx...d2004@yahoo.com

(edited to save others comps)

You may have a virus mate, check it out please

Was going to PM this but thought it would serve as a useful warning to anyone who receives anything like this or Rarred files that are sent randomly with simalar messages. DO NOT CLICK THEM!

xxxxxxxx@hotmail.com has invited you to have a 3D avatar chat


A) What is it?

Why was it sent 3 times?

It is a trojan. I have had a couple coming through as "Pictures" but really a nasty backdoor. From what I have read, its quite an oldish one. This link might help. haha, is this really you? msn messenger virus - CNET Spyware, viruses, & security Forums Cheers

Nope, the current ones are a pain. This is the one I had. This info MIGHT help anyone who has clicked thru. MSN trojan horse? - Yahoo! Answers I clicked thru to grab the file, as it attempts to send an image. On opening the rar file, it shows a file.jpg.exe (in most cases the .exe part is hidden). As it comes from a known person, its social engineering and many people will accept and open for that reason. It's either gonna end up being a keylogger or botnet jobbie
