[wasn't sure where to put it, and I searched and no one has posted about it yet]
IF YOU GET THIS MESSAGE FROM ANYONE: This AIM user has sent you a Christmas Card! To open it please visit: greetings.aol.com/index.pd?source=greetingscard?my_christmas_card.scr This senders personal note: Merry Christmas! IT IS A VIRUS. I copied and pasted the URL, because I never open anything in IE (I copy and paste into Firefox) and the URL was different from its "description". Plus, I was pretty much bombarded with these while I was gone shopping. if that's a virus, i wouldn't advise making the link clickable for cBers. =p - gigiopolis |

to gigiopolis, I did not include the link in my post. I included the link that it looks like, ie <a href="this is the link of the actual virus">this is what I posted up there - the description of the link</a> if you get what I mean. :]

Is it a virus or a aim jacker?
Virus - Crashes or damages your harddrive. Aim Jacker - Plays with your AIM (ie, sends the message to others, signs you on and off) |

It could be either - I don't want to open it an find out. :X
Right now, all I can tell is that it's a jacker. I'm not sure if it corrupts any files on your computer. |
