Exclamation Must be virus season !

Well, it must be virus season.

I just received another suspicious file, via Yahoo.




Very suspicious extension of attachment
* data.dat.scr


Sender: ***** <*****.******@mail.aim.com>
Recipient: **********@yahoo.co.uk
Subject: Good day

Avast alerted me to a suspicious file extension, yet again. A screensaver extension this time, so be careful, expecially (it seems) with Yahoo accounts. So if you get an email with "Good day" in the subject field, be careful about opening it. Obviously, I never opened the attachment, so don't know what's in there (malware, virus etc).

I suppose people are staying at home more now that it is getting colder and darker earlier and they have nothing better to do

Well, I wish the buggers would leave me alone.
