Hello,
I've noticed (at http://www.gadgetdetective.com/)
quite a few messages fr_om people in the October 2006 forum (which from
tomorrow will be viewable only in their site's "Archived" section) seeking
help about a trojan (that they don't seem to have identified) which they
contracted while using MSN, from_ an attachment called: "its u on the
photo".
I found that the trojan may possibly be identified in the following_ forum
message:

If anyone has further or indeed better, information about this new trojan
threat, it may help others.
