Does anyone get e-mails with files attached on Hotmail. The e-mail tends to read, "Your Document is attached."

I always wonder who could possibly be stupid enough to open this file. I tend to reply informing the sender that, despite my love for strange files from people I don't know; I won't be needing any more. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hmm, I just got bombarded by this little worm. Just speaking to Ilander, i was offered a "hahahaha.pif" and "lol.exe." I also got this from two other people, including my parents. There was also the "me_2005.gif." Why did all the sudden get, like, 50 of these at a time, from three different people? It's like I'm a magnet!

OY VEY. Yeah, I'm in the process of fixing it...I just hope that Norton hasn't screwed me over on my update (the one that I downloaded an hour ago)...because it just takes too darn long to do a full system scan.

Obviously this is stupid, but you still need your window open for that.

I closed a window earlier, and it popped back up with one of these file transfers.
