http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif, MP3's cannot carry a virus. only EXE, COM, VBS, SCR and a few others.. MP3 and image files are ok, someone was just messing with you... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Beware of companies that disguise themselves! I got a "seemingly" normal email from MICROSOFT.COM with this attachment.

Someone had sent it to me under the disguise from a bogus email creator.

The file was 'fastupgrade.exe' and I opened it to find that it had slowed down my PC to a complete halt and the blue screen of death came up saying - "Your Drive Is Dead...HAHAHA", : I just quickly grabbed the plug and yanked it out.

Beware: even the most tempting of emails should be checked up upon, usually there will be news on their main website.

I will also look out for these other evils.

Ziroc - do you know whether 'renaming' an .EXE file, or .SCR to .MP3 will give the virus the disguise of being MP3 rather than the usual filename? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/rolleyes.gif

Maybe it was just a joke but it scared the hell out of me especially when I saw where it was on the hardisk with some weird stuff at the end instead of .mp3

<font color="cyan">Ok. Considering I half-own the pc you use,if you ever except another .exe file I will break your legs ok? The last one you accepted caused that shitty shortcut thing.
