A new messenger virus has spread rapidly. Every day many users are infected with this virus. The virus takes advantage of many curious sending some alleged pictures in a compressed file, the user thinking that the photos are sent by the person you are chatting, and agree quickly access the file.
How this virus spreads? As I said before a contact from our list, which has already been infected in a conversation invites us to accept a compressed file with some pictures. The file weighs about 11KB so if you understand a little the topic we miss a packet of photos are sent in only 11KB, this weight is ideal for both low and high connections as easily accept it and within seconds you have it.
If we enter into this compressed folder, it will see a suspicious file named in yo_posse_007.jpg.exe. Here is that we can quickly realize that this is a malicious file. Why? ... simply because of its size. In this case. Exe.
So far there is no vaccine for this deadly threat. For now we have our antivirus updated.
So do not accept any links that appear on our IM conversation window, first if the file should be sure we're getting really belongs to the person you're talking about.
