Is this a new virus?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
Over the last few days I've been sent a file called dwarf4you.exe.and another calleds sexy virgin.scr file from an unknown source called hahaha@sexyfun.netObviously I trashed them and didn't open them. The text said:-
Today, Snowhite was turning 18. The 7 Dwarfs always where very educated and polite with Snowhite. When they go out work at mornign, they promissed a *huge* surprise. Snowhite was anxious. Suddlently, the door open, and the Seven Dwarfs enter...
Any one else been sent these?

Not seen them, but if they are from an unknown source I would do the same as you......junk them unopened.

This is a useful site which lists all HOAX viruses. The ones you mention don't appear to be listed as hoaxes so you probably done right to delete them rik.http://www.datafellows.fi/news/hoax.htm

The 7 Dwarfs thing is definitely a virus. It is a form of the W95.Hybris virus. I posted a writeup last week for Galaxy - she had been affected by it - sprial on the screen. There is a routine available to disinfect. Check your anti-virus site (Norton AV, McAfee etc).
