nasty worms

Got a potential viruse yesterday. No, of course I didn’t open it! One email was titled “message could not be displayed” and had a text attachment. I think it might have been this nasty bugger.

The other was, I assume, a particularly obnxious spam, which tried to convince me that I’d sent a virus-laden email to some email address I’d never heard of with the helpful advice that email headers could be faked. It was from an anti-virus firm and contained additional links to persuade me that I needed a virus-checker. Sneaky, hey?

Bastards.
