Its been a few days since I checked my Hotmail account. With only about 10 small emails in my Inbox I was very surprised to see my account frozen for Lack of Space. So I check my Junk Mail box. In it were emails from Memnoch, Magik, Link, and three other IW members I cant recall.

Some of the emails had Spanish sounding titles (5 of 6 in fact.) Knowing that these people most likely dont speak spanish they were promptly deleted. Each was 318k in size. Most likely some virus.

Check your emails peoples. If you receive any emails that are 318k DELETE them without opening them.

Yeah, I got one that was purporting to be from Lady Blue, and was about that size, with an attachment. I deleted it.

I had them too, only they weren't from IW members. They were in Spanish though and all of them had attachments.

Have received quite a few of those from Javi, Shadowstrider and the Genie.... deleted them outright.

It wasn't Pablo or Senor T [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color="#55aacc">Hey E.D. I didn't see your msn message in time but I tried to respond, I did NOT send you any files. I do not even use my hotmail account, I only have it because it is required for msn. Sorry for the screwup...I did send you an email from my hotmail account right after I saw your message </font>

That sounds very much like one of those viruses that was going arond a year or so ago. Looks like it's reared its ugly head again.

It's a virus sure enough. I can't remember the name offhand, but the attachment is generally a .cpl file. DELETE IMMEDIATELY ON RECEIPT!!!!

I also find it slightly worrying that Hotmail's virus checking system seems unable to stop these messages :(

Did you find out the hard way if you catch my meaning? If so what effects does it have?

Hope you can fix the problem if so BTW.
