    I've just received another damn E-mail virus, it's the Bagle.H Worm, and it protects itself from e-mail resident virus scanners by placing itself in an encrypted zip file. It gives you the password in the e-mail, and when you un-encrypt the zipfile, it comes out as a *.exe file instead of a *.doc

    I don't know if this is a targeted mail or another mass-mailing worm... but I was expecting a Word document from the person who sent it, so I actually opened it without thinking. Good thing my AVG caught it!

    Be careful!

    As a reminder:
    1. NEVER OPEN any *.exe, *.com, *.scr or any non-document file.

    2. Always scan *.txt, *.doc or *.xls files before opening them.

    3. Don't accept any password protected or encrypted files, as anti-virus programs can't read them... I doubt your friends know how to encrypt anyway.
