GREH!

I keep getting this stupid e-mail from some random guy called "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and something about sexyfun.net or something, and it's got this .exe file attatchment. A) Why the hell would I want anything from "sexyfun.net", and B) Hello? Like *that* doesn't just SCREAM computer virus? :p Bastards. I wanna kill them good.

IT IS A VIRUS!!!

In all seriousness, do NOT open up that file. It's a virus and a pretty nasty one too. I kept getting sent them and I had to killfile it at the source. A friend of mine did something with it and had some corruption on his hard drive. Just delete it!

Yeah, I have been just deleting it every time... thank god I don't use an e-mail app that automatically opens file attatchments! I'm mainly annoyed because they keep sending it and I'm sick of getting it. :p

The same thing happened to me. Is there anyway you can block the sender?

I dunno, but I'll definitely be looking into it.

Well, Hybris virus munges headers anyhow. Take a more detailed look at said headers to find out who is actually sending this to you.

There are several strains of Hybris, which is pernicious but not as bad as some of the worms out there. We catch several samples a week.
