Hi

I'm using Windows Live Messenger Version 2008. Sometimes I just get a
random message from someone (actually 2 particular people) in my
contact list, with a request to accept a file (.zip file ).

I have scanned my computer with McAfee VirusScan 8.0, didnt detect any
virus.

PS. I was using Live Messenger Beta before, but now it's been upgraded
to the full Live 2008 version.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Hello Kappa,

This is most likely one of the many worms that are spreading around the
messenger world. I too myself have received a few of these requests and
NOD32 didn't detect them. Always make good judgment before accepting a
random file transfer from your contacts.
