Hey all be careful, I saw this posted on another site too. They were getting strange emails all with an attachment of the same size. It is believed to be a virus, and I just got one myself. A good way to tell is that it starts with hello and end with best Regards, Admin.

Example:

"Hello,

:eek: Yeah man, I got the same damn thing.. in my mail!!

the e-mail says: Do you wanna hack???

and includes Hacker.scr


I believe it will make you watch it while your whole harddrive gets deleted...


So becarful!!

What's the typical name on the email. Subject = what?

Sorry can't remember the subject (already deleted it) but one was like a product trial thing and the other was a screen saver. The best way to tell is that they all have a .scr file attached

Well... the subject on mine said: Do you wanna Hack???

Just like that that... It may have others also.. be careful.. just don't open anything from anyone who you do not know who it is.. .scr, .exe, .pif, .com, .bat, .cpl, .jpg and gif also..

I've gotten that e-mail 6 times from my 6 different Hotmail accounts. 1 per one hotmail account, so I know that its not just me.

I have also got about 50 emails from "VictoryHawk" in my msn account. I think he is the one who is sending them..

I think hotmail is dead. There is so much spam and so many viruses going through you can't keep up with it all. I got 10 spams the first day I opened my hotmail account. They just randomly pick names and email them cause they know someone has the name. Hotmail has millions of users so almost every name is taken. You know, you do not need to have a hotmail or msn account to use msn messenger. If anyone has me on there list they would know I do not have a msn or hotmail address. All you need to do is register a email address from somewhere els and signup for a passport.

seems to be plenty about at the moment but please please be careful what you open.
i just got one today would you believe it was called hotmail hack .exe
contained w32 ya something or other

i been getting funny address from people letters not normal use as in from (thier email address) ; $%bfds^&**)cindy. to: my hotmail account its not the only one with that type address to it i delete them i don't even bother with them.
