Got a random email from a friend today, well, what i thought was a friend.
There was a link to a "Photo album" on it, which me being me i clicked on.
As soon as the link loaded on my computer it pretty much had a heart attack, detecting over 120 virus's.

Now, that wasnt the clever part of it.
The clever part is that the mail mimics a known contact.
So, i have a message pop up with my friends screen name and email add. on it.

So, the scam mail is able to mimic known contact names and details, which is a 1st for me seeing this.
which by doing this, it does not activate the safe screening on your mail settings and makes everything able to be viewed and clicked without thought.


So anyway, just a quick heads up.
If you do get a random mail from a friend right click it 1st and run a scan on it.



Comp is clean again now after a few hours :K

I dont care about my friends lame pictures, so I'm safe.

Doesent help i was out all weekend, so it wouldnt be uncommon for someone to have pics up

Stop trying to ogle girls you know from the safety of your computer! Be a real man,that's what binoculars are for.

Yea, and then spend the rest of my life knowing the reason why my missus tried to castrate me with an old butter knife?

Hmm, that simply won't do. You need to get her a better knife for you anniversary or that will never be a clean cut.

It's a good thing you have me around, you'd be lost otherwise

Damnit Cannerus.

Lets face it mate, you cant twist my mind anymore than it is.
Its too fethed up to be ruined any more


Hmmm, something like a global knife or kitchen devil?

An xacto knife, those things can cut anything; tomatos, potatos, plastic bags, plastic sprues, the skin above the knuckle after your hand slips while trying to cut a Leman Russ chassis out of the sprue so much that you can see underneath your skin and you're sure you need stitches but just use some toilet paper and a band aid which does nothing to hold back the blood from the cut so you use a towel and apply pressure for half an hour, transfers, packaging, and the fabric of time itself.

That's pretty brutal. Luckily.... No one uses email

Too small on the blade though halo.

I would prefer a quick chop than a slice and drag.
However, i rather have neither



Edit: Samus, i use it since it helps to no end
Gotta love simple hotmail.

I'm sure you can just get enough glue to make a long enough xacto blade, you may have an uneven cut but it'll be done.

I suggest 'zap a gap' as it can even fuse skin to skin and will truly let you become one with the leman russ model with blood all over it.
