E
eerie
hi,
was at friends computer today, xp pro, and it seemed he was silly enough to open an email that he
shouldnt have. (i am currently teaching him how to use a computer)
the mail he opened is now not visible in his inbox, but has rather made itself a shortcut on his
desktop, and it looks like this:::::
{Disarmed} Please verify your email address.eml.
this is also in his Desktop folder. iirc, it was only about 7Kb.
unfortunately, because it is not in his mail room, (O/E6) i couldnt right click on it to get to
properties, message, message source and etc... all i could do was get properties for it as a file in
Explorer of which carries basically no info at all.
I scanned it with his AVGfree and it come up clean;; currently adaware is running doing a full
system scan on his computer, but i had to leave his home way before it had finished and wont know
the outcome until late thursday.
i noticed two things while there,, one was that he could no longer open any .txt files, and the
other was that the computer seemed a lot slower.
i have googled 'disarmed', but found nothing useful as yet.
anyone come across this thing before?
thanks.
