You know, I got an e-mail from Prayermanager this morning. I had never signed up for these and have tried to unsubscribe. Anyway, this one just said, "The Movie" as an attachment. I blew it out.

Was it a worm?

You can be confident that any unsolicited email attachment is an attempt to gain control of your computer. Worm, trojan, virus, or whatever, doesn't really matter once they have control of your machine.

Yes... the attachment has shown up as "your details", "your application", "cool screensaver", "the movie"

BTW, update your virus scanner definitions. This one has been detectable for a few days now.

The movie

Your Details

These are the three that are showing up here. I'm getting tired of deleting the dang things.
