A worm is being propogated via Instant Messengers (MSN and AOL affected).

I received this message today:
LOL!! http://home.earthlink.net/~xxx/picture007.com
Real link removed for your protection.

I downloaded the file, McAfee VirusScan 9 didn't detect a virus, but it's a good thing I ran it through multiple scanners before I ran it.

Bottom line is, if someone sends you a link to a .exe or .com file, especially if its an unknown contact, you better damn well know what they are sending or else its most surely a virus.
