MSN virus?

[mack 44]

Anyone else get something like this sent to them by someone?

I was in a convo on MSN and they sent this and didn't know they'd sent it:

"omg this is funny! http://jose.rivera4.home.att.net/cute.pif"

its benn sent to me about 4 times, i never did click on it though,

I did, but then it came up the "run, save" options and I canceled. Just wondering what the hell it was because I've seen files come over to accept but never a link.

Never accept a .pif file.

i clicked it, :(. then i did like 3 virus scans using norton, mcaffe, and an online one. it detected it and deleted it.

if you clicked it, just scan your computer.

It's a trojan horse virus.

It's on AIM, also.

It's bad stuff. As Chadd said, never click on .pif files.

I had clicked it but didn't save it or run it, but ran Norton and came up clean *knock on wood.*

I must know goons because another person started trying to send me J-Lo stuff with.scr as the extension and some other crap.

Ya I had that. The guy then hacks your email and talks to people in it trying to send them that file. He got into my friend Stu's email and sent a whole bunch of spam and stuff out.

I hate people that waste their life trying to mess up peoples computers, viruses are getting out of hand.
