Spent all morning sterlizing my PC after my mother, of all people, sent me a virus. pe_magistr_b, you are now banned from my machine.
Nasty one. It takes a random Word doc and puts a chunk of it in as the email body (as it emails everyone you know), so I wasn't tipped off by the normal "This is cool, run this" amateurness. The email actually sounded like the attachment would have been a normal thing, though it was a .pif and that should have set off warning bells. As soon as I clicked it, I knew what happened, so I shut off my email program and scanned my PC.
*grumble*
