Patent.bat?
 

Just got an email that has an attachmnet called Patent.bat.

Anyone else get this?

The subject of the email was 'A very new website'

with the body:


Hello,This is a new website
I hope you would enjoy it.

Patent.bat


Of coarse I didnt execute it but I was still wondering if other people got it or if it was a direct attack on the site that the mail ady is for.

The .bat extention is a batch file. You could open it in a text editor to see what it does.

Its a virus...for sure...i get dozens of those a day.

god, how lame is that, that a wannabe virus writer can't even compile an executable.... limited to using a fucking batch file.

it's kinda sad really.... we should take up a collection to send him to virus school so he can learn to do it right.

Thats another thing that I thought was strange.

I opened it with both notepad and pfe and all it listed was machine jiberish like it was an executable.

thanks every one.

I guess it just goes in the trash then.

??

because you didn't want to delete it?

The thing was that if it was ment to target only me then I would have wanted to look at it further.

But since other people said the had recieved it then that is not the case so I dont really care what it is.
