Tonight, one of my friends sent me a message and a file img1526.zip on MSN. The message said that My mom just died :( This is the picture of car crash.. I felt strange and typed some words to confirm this. My friend did not response. So I knew that it was a virus and declined the file. Later, I called my friend and confirmed that the message was fake and her computer had been infected by virus. Just one minute later, I received a request of same file from another friend with a different message saying I got some pictures last week. I think you like em.. Hah, the second friend had just opened the file and got infected.
I guess this is a variant of so many MSN virus, which send you a file like pic.zip, photo.zip. Although Microsoft enforced virus scanning in the latest Live messenger, you should never trust a file transfer request without immediate confirmation from your friends.
