HL2 Movie virus?

[LoneDeranger]

LOL .. I just checked my mail and it seems somebody is capitalizing on the whole HL2 media craze. There is an email with the subject 'Re: HL2 Movie' and it reads "Please see the attached zip file for details."

If you open the zip file there is a .pif file in there which is most probably a virus/torjan/worm. Be careful people.

i got one too! it as called RE: Movie. i just deleted it

I delete anything with an attachment on it... if someone wants to send me files, they have to send them through icq..

hmm.. wonder if Steam will have file transfering in their little chat feature

I know exactly what you are talking about because I was a close victim.

Good thing I had Norton Anti-Virus. However it was not named "RE: HL2 Movie" it was named "RE: Movie."

This is what Steam's for, and I always disregard it as spam because I always know what I e-mail.

Did it actually open something that could be read or anything?

It was a PIF file in most cases.
