A lot of my contacts are already infected with a virus showing sympoms described by symantec.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/av ... vir.f.html
w32.kelvir.f.html spreads by exploiting weaknesses in MSN Messenger. I think this weakness is the file sharing tool. It seems to spread though .pif files with harmless names like Me drunk!.pif or Me topless.pif. as well as through a link called girls . com. Do not open this link!
DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT ACCEPT ANY FILES OVER MSN AT THE MOMENT UNLESS YOUR CONTACT VERIFYS THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO SEND YOU THE FILE.
Another varient of this critter is w32.kelvir.e.html
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/av ... vir.e.html
This varient at the moment only seems to spread through .piff files.
BE SAFE UPDATE YOUR VIRUS CHECKER'S DEFINITONS DAILY!
PRACTICE SAFE SURFING! ALWAYS USE A VIRUS CHECKER KIDS!
I will be emailing this alert out to all my email contacts, so apologies if you recieve this more then once.
