Just arrived home, had four persons on my MSN contact list who had sent me the following messages: "LOOK! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':O'-smiley at the end.) "LMFAO! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':P'-smiley at the end.) "rofl! http://members.chello.nl/g.geurts1/handcuffs.pif " (with ':D'-smiley at the end.) I tried to wget the file, but got a 404. chello.nl has probably already dealt with the problem, at least on their own servers, but you can never be sure... Thus, I haven't been able to get the .pif and try to disassemble it or check the contents, and after a quick googling I haven't found anything that matches this new (?) virus/worm. Anyone else knows about this and if there's any spyware remover / antivirus that fixes the problem? Regards, Magnus Törnekrona
