If you use limewire and find any compressed (.zip) files in the search results that = 851.7kb DO NOT DOWNLOAD BECAUSE IT IS A WORM/VIRUS.
There is loads of files this size with loads of different names. As far as i know these have just popped up all of a sudden in the last couple of days.
(well ive only just noticed them i should say). so BEWARE!!

PS. I acknowledge this is nowt to do with FRUIT MACHINES but its the ANY TOPIC section. (B4 ANY1 SAYS OWT (cos they always f***in do))

PPS. Have a nice day.

I'd advise scanning all folders you get anyway from anybody anywhere....rar zip whatever....

Bit silly opening anything not checked first for the sake of 2 minutes.

Doesnt most (if not all) decent anti-virus run in the background anyway?
Plus i think its a new variation, luckily my av is up to date and caught it, and microsoft spysweeper blocked it from hijacking my browser aswell because it seemed to get past my anti-virus somehow even tho it detected and dealt with it.
SO BEWARE (especially you Adydb or ill mail you it) lmao

Erm i use it most days, as for the subject in hand anything of 800k is never going to be a rom file, even compressed it will still hit at least a meg.

I dont download anything via limewire that isnt under 50 mb so usually i dont have this problem but thanks for the heads up.
