Grasser233 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 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 Grasser#233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev152 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
