pecuniumThe new MS operating system (Vesta) got it's first virus today.
It was mere hours (a bit less than two days) after its release.
On a more personal note someone is trying to infect my computer with something.
It's an e-mail bug, promising to be an e-mail greeting card. I, being a suspicious type (and not allowing HTML in my e-mail) had an URL to go to.
It led to a site for sale. My browser was kind enough to tell me the URL was a gif, and had a .exe extention.
That't not the amusing part (well it is, but I am strange). The amusing part is that, like the spammers who try to get me to give them info about accounts I don't have, with banks I don't frequent, these guys were/are persistent. I have three of these in my trash can right now. If I'd opened the mail and seen them all at once, they'd have gone straight to the bit bucket.

I've been getting those postcard.gif.exe mails myself. They're very annoying.
