Post subject: File Extrension .B64

So, I go into my mail this morning and I find an email from Psyphi. The subject says "Re:" and when I go to read it, the subject says "What?". Now I dont know how the hell this kid got my email and I never emailed him anything, so I dont know whats going on. I look and he has an attachment in his email, and its called Original_Message.B64. Then I go to open it, and yahoo tells me that they cant scan it for viruses. So now this is getting me curious. Why is Psyphi emailing me? Does he know that yahoo wont scan .B64 files and think that he can send me a virus? Honestly, I dont trust this guy any futher than I can throw him, and since this is internet related...that means not at all. What do you guys think?

If you don't know what to do, delete it.

It's an encoded message or a virus.

Quote:

Extension: B64
Program and/or Extension Function [What's This?] Company [What's This?]
Base 64 MIME-encoded File
Specific Notes [What's This?]
This file type is not often seen on PC systems. Note: The virus W32/MyWife.d@MM!M24 discovered 1/17/06 uses this file extension to send itself to others. Be careful if you have received a file of this type in the mail.

It's a worm.
They've been flooding my box for years now with such dummy files.
Just delete it and move on.

And it probably wasnt "from" Psyphi, atleast not intentionally.
