If you get someone trying to send you a file on MSN called "myalbum2007.zip" don't open it and delete straight away

Its a virus that is spreading through MSN >

It will send a file to every connected person in your MSN address book infecting their machine aswell

This came to my machine from what seemed a trusted source so please be aware and don't get caught out like i did

ops:

All the viruses shown below came from one source. If your machine gets infected, disconnect it from the net and run your AV program. It is an easy virus to get rid of
