Warning! Virus!
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Null Actor
There is apparently a new virus going around, disguised as a jpg file. It isn't actually a jpg, however, it's an html file with embedded java, which exploits some kind of security hole to execute some code (which I can't decipher). It makes use of the fact that Internet Explorer ignores extensions and will actually use the file based on its contents. Other browsers may not be affected (Firebird will not execute the script).
If you see a file named britney.jpg do NOT click the link!
Edit: Just an update, but if the file were renamed to a .html, I think there is a good chance that other browsers will run the script, since it uses java to execute.
Edit Edit: It's not a virus, it's malicious code. It appears to have been fixed in the latest batch of windows patches, however. Exercise caution anyway.

people may ignore that from the simple fact of the name "britney".

hello
i like the linux logo, especially since it is jumping upside down, great, if i had to choose another operating system other than windows xp, i would choose BEos, i like it so much, i did install it on my other computer one time but it did not like my graphics card, at least mandrake liked my graphics card, but red hat had a problem with it.
Regards
Andrew
