If in doubt dont open it, even if your virus scanner says it is clean.

I wont open any attachments unless they are from people that I know.

fair enough, this is what happens:

open the .exe you get this:



you try to click on NO but the button moves away like this:




you end up admitting defeat and click yes to get this:



when you have chased the close button around the screen for a bit this appears:




you try and click for further assistance but the button changes to this:



you swallow your pride and get this:




I thought it was pretty funny, especially to send no your non-pc literate mates.There's another one on the link i posted above that threatens to wipe your hard drive.

By the way, whats a virus?

Well it looks like you're not running any Antivirus software so you'll never know... till it's too late.

Is that funny blue and yellow thing in your system tray Norton Antivirus then?

Worse thing that could happen. Worse I ever came across was a school teacher who turned on one machine, flashing cursor, turned on another, flashing cursor, turned on a classroom full of PC's, flashing cursor. CIH virus wiped the content of a flashable chip on all of them as he turned them on. Worse thing that could happen is you could have given it to his machines in the first place. The man was crying on the phone to me. Not nice.
