Hi All!
Now a days the virus is really intelligence! Have you notice? I always use Yahoo! Mail it is really a great free service at the moment (promoting as long as it is free) :D Before that the virus normally come from some unknown email address. That is not from your friend address. So most of the time I will ignore it. But I had found out that today virus mail most of them from my friend email! It is really amazing!
That's why I said today virus really intelligence. :eek:

there are 3 types of internet security concern over the possible attacks:

Virus (replicate, attach & merge)
Worm (replicate, self-sustaining)
Trojan (wolf who wears sheep skin)


those affected email account could be virus which is attached along the email, once you download & execute the file (normally in .exe extension), u are going to be like one of them sending out the replication of the email with virus attached.

unlike trojan which attempts to act as if it is some kind of useful files (mpg, exe, ...), and if u try to execute/run the program, it would say like, 'Unable to run the program due to corruption of file, please download again', and etc.
