As W32.Klez.* the bug i've dicovered has the same strategy. When you create an avatar on Fireworks 4 or an other program with the same abilities. It gives you the opportunity to make a pop-up menu. Its option of this menu is connected with a link. If a bad guy put a button to be connected with a file (virus) with some option it could be a perfect virus. I've tried to make a pop-up menu and i discovered that only PNG file can give that ability in only one file.
Umm, what does this have to do with the site?
It's not about the site, but about the safety of the site's users. Sorry if you can't understand the meaning of my post. The main meaning is that:
"Every avatar can be a virus.
W32.Klez.* .......i foudnb that on my server today....****ing virus creating bastards......
LOL....I just got done with Nimda for the second time around....
I don't know much about viri however I was wondering what is the w32 for ? To tell it to run on the w32 Subsystem or what?
Win32??????? just maybe.

Lamo virus writers. GAH
When new clients bring in their virused systems and ask me why people would do this, I use the Surgeon/psychopath analogy.
Both are fascinated by the mess, just one likes to clean up and be helpful and the other likes to wallow in the destruction.
Hey, have any of you understood?
Ok ii-monk a virus in an image file.. yes and?
I had w95.annoying replace the config.sys with a GIF... annoying wasn't supposed to do it but as it was the only virus's found any any way shape or form on the hdd..
Am I in the back waters here, virii of the week Magestr 4 varients, followed by Hybris a b & f
don't any bastards ever bother to use or update their AV... don't answer.. dumb is as dumb does..
oh ii-monk is that what u ment?
Well, i mean that if some1 make a .png avatar and on that avatar a pop-up menu it can send us to a page where automatically a file (virus) can be downloaded and destroy our computers.
don't worry ii-monk, i understand you. But...destroy our computers? most unlikely i think.
I think you should give us an example in your avatar, so the others can understand, maybe i'll shove a pop up menu in mine.
Cheers!
:D
Ok...
My mistake. I have seen when you choose an avatar from your HDD, that it has the option to have avatar with extension *.htm and *.html. But now i tried to upload the avatar i have made and it said that it's not valid. Sorry.
