Default MSN auto virus?

I've seen this happen with 2 of my contacts, they send me a quick message with a link, the link tries to download a PIF file or something?

Seems to be a clever virus if it is!

regards,

greg

Can you remove that link. It's probably infected code.

It'll do exactly that, its a mildly clever way of hiding an executable file in a link. The fact that it doesn't autoexecute makes it less of a problem.
