Hi, Myself and a few others on MSN have had some App Files sent to us using contacts in your list.

 

These files are high risk viruses so be very careful on what your accepting. You get no text just a normal conversation alert. Normal rules apply, only accept stuff that you know what it is.

 

A lot of us use MSN so its best to be careful

 

Thanks

Unfortunately I also accepted the affore-mentioned file and after running a virus scan etc I didnt seem to find anything

I also did a search on the system for the WINIS.EXE File that Pedro got and again all seemed fine

Can anyone give me any advice to anything else I can do just to be 100% sure I didnt suffer any damage as such??(I aint the sharpest tool in the box when it comes to this sort of thing!! shrug.gif )

THNX in advance!!

Mek i accepted the file and norton picked up that i had a sasser worm virus, and it has deleted it. But i also went onto micrsoft website, then into security and there is abit there about the worm, click on that and there is abit to click that scans ur pc for you and tells you if u have it or not.

 

Hope this helps.

I declined.

 

files sent to me were 141kb in size.

 

So watch out for them that size, I think its that file that is the problem.

 

Its sending in different formats, had one from pedz, a scr file disguised as an exe file, and one from mek, disguised as a tif file

Dear Trend Micro customer,

 

As of February 2, 2005, 6:55 PM (GMT - 08:00), TrendLabs has declared a Medium

Risk Virus Alert to control the spread of WORM_BROPIA.F.

TrendLabs has received numerous infection reports indicating that this malware

is spreading in the Bolivia, U.S., Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, and China.

 

This is a memory-resident worm that drops a copy of itself in the root folder

using different interesting file names with a PIF extension.

It attempts to propagate by sending copies of itself to all MSN Messenger

contacts.

 

It also drops the file WINHOST.EXE in the Windows system folder. Trend Micro

detects the said file as WORM_AGOBOT.AJC.

 

It has an anti-debugging technique, which enables it not to run if any of the

following debugging applications are present on the affected system:

? NT-ice

? Softice

 

It also drops and displays an image file, named SEXY.JPG.

 

 

TrendLabs will be releasing the following EPS deliverables:

 

TMCM Outbreak Prevention Policy 144

Official Pattern Release 2.390.00

Damage Cleanup Template 505
