I think someone tried to send me a virus

[Bubba]

On a yahoo account, I got an email that claims to be from [email protected] titled: "Your password". The email says: All information is in the attached file.

The ip comes from: Charter Communications.

Anyone else get one of these? This email address is pretty new and never been used much including at any message boards.

I was hoping someone here could direct me to an article on it. I saw it somewhere.

The alliance comes in the wake of warnings from anti-virus firms Monday of a new e-mail worm (W32/Palyh-A) that pretends to come from [email protected] and contains the message text "All information is in the attached file".

I found it using Google. I hate viruses.

It's okay, Bubba. Some people even like Macs.

Someone tried to send the same thing to my spam-collector e-mail address (it used to be my main one before I went off to school). Norton caught the virus as the e-mail was still downloading off the server.

palyh is turning out to be a cheeky sob, appearing to come from m$ as it does.

Microshaft does NOT send e-mail attachments. Ever.

sadly, i am sure there are a lot of m$ users out there who wouldn't think twice about opening an email from what they consider to be a 'trusted' source.

i don't know waht's more annoying, a virus that plys on the trust of users in microsoft or that people had that much trust in m$ in the first place...
