Password theft through email:
a friend on aol got this email virus that stole his main aol password
the email was from larry and the subject was "you won't believe this"
the file's name is microsoft420.exe
it is also associated with another file called nasty.exe and possibly sofunny.exe.
i used system configuration to disable in startup. that's all i have for now.
