| 478565 | 2006-08-14 23:16:00 | WC2195136.exe, is this a worm? Googled it but nothing shows up. This attachment came with what's believed to be an order from the US of A. AVG does not register anything out of the ordinary. Thanks, Lurking |

If you aren't sure what it is, don't run it (unless you're feeling game and have nothing better to do than repair your install if things go wrong). |

| 478568 | 2006-08-15 07:06:00 | Does this show up as a worm if you compile it? int main(int argc, char** argv) { system("rm C:\\Windows\\system32\\recover.exe"); } The point is you never run anything you're not sure about. |

| 478569 | 2006-08-16 05:02:00 | TGoddard, thanks for your reply. As one knows through the help given by pressf1 members', one does not open anything that looks dodgy. Too late to "compile it", that's if one knew how to do that without opening the file. It has been deleted. Thanks again for replies. Lurking. |
