There is a virus being sent out and in the subject line it reads:

Paypal.Pif

DO NOT OPEN IT

It threatens that your Paypal account will expire soon and prompts you to run the attached application in order to re-validate your account.

If you receive it DO NOT open the file and please immediately delete it.

[color=red][/color][size=9][/size]Thanks for the tip. It's always nice when I can keep my computer from getting colds, so I can play DOD as long as possible.

Why oh why do they always use those crappy extensions that no ones ever heard of? Is it because they want to confuse the person or something? Or maybe its how they get the stupid people.
