mess.beWatch out for instant messages -even when they come from good friends and family- which look like this:
“OMFG! http://[some_domain_name]/handcuffs.pif“
OMFG can be similar words, like LOL, LMAO, SO COOL or ROFL. This is a new worm, probably a Bropia variant, spreading around MSN Messenger disguised as a hyperlink to a file called handcuffs.pif (which is hosted on random domains, like for instance members.chello.nl/g.geurts). When you click the link and thus activate the download of this file, a jpg of a handcuffed girl will be extracted (which some of you didn’t seem to mind) and in the background a similar message will be sent to online MSN Messenger contacts. Don’t help this worm propagate… don’t click links to .pif files!
EEDOK, the site isn’t a real site. That was just an example of the message you should NOT click. If you get an instant message from anyone, even a friend, think two, no… three times before clicking a link. Better yet, don’t click it.
There seems to be a similar virus spreading now. It sends a message like omg! [link] and if you accept it, downloads something (I didn’t check what) and then sends a similar message to others on your contact list.
If anyone tries to send you a file called Cute.pif, or any .pif files, I’d recommend that you dont click on the link. Heres an example.
omg this is funny!
