Re: Very important.

I responded to the message which included the attachment, and here it is for those who missed it: Goody, a virus. LOL Note: According to the Virus scanner used on php.net (or on the mailing list. whichever) Emanuel.exe is a virus. Here is the URL for information on it: http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98881& Gotta hate when that happens. ----- end old message ----- -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

Yesterday an email-virus entitled Emanuel was sent out over this list, and I am not sure by who. It came in the form of Emanuel.exe, and had an icon resembling that of a standalone flash projector file (pink diamond with a white multi-pointed asterisk-type thing in the middle). This virus appears to be a backorifice or netbus style virus, and adds something to a system file that makes it so that *every* time you try to launch a program, it launches "Wintask.exe", which is *not* an official task, despite the name. It puts a green ICQ flower in your taskbar, and if you click it, a button pops up that says "Nunca <bla bla> esta button". The <bla bla> is because I forget the word for "push" in spanish, and I'm not about to open this program again -- It translates to "NEVER PUSH THE BUTTON" -- and trust me, *don't*, this, i have found, is what activates the virus. I may have lost several weeks of work to this virus, and I advise you all to watch out, as it was likely sent inadvertantly.
