Sure is on the loose, anyone know how the hell it infects on MSN?
And as to why a company can't virus scan files uploaded to their servers is beyond me. |

OK anything ending in ".pif" DO NOT ACCEPT!
They come as files from your contacts, I just got one titled "Topless in a miniskirt.pif" and "Jennifer Lopez.pif" |

I havnt had a virus in ages, and I got what I consider the best anti-virus on the market (PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005) so hopefully I'm pretty well set up against them.
You'd think MSN would take down the service for a while so the can block the virus spreading or something, like they had to do with the display picture vunerablity. |
