It's not a set of photos - it's an email worm. Myparty sends junk mail to all the email addresses it finds, annoying and attempting to infect everyone you know. It also creates a backdoor into your system allowing crackers or other evildoers to take over your computer - at best your system will get slower, at worst all of your files and your operating system could be completely destroyed. If you are already infected, or want to know more for other reasons, please read http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.myparty@mm.html Sorry about sending off-topic email to the list, but it seems worthwhile to warn people and to ward off *more* confused off-topic messages... Alan (oh, and if you want off the list, *don't email the list*! that sends your message to all the other subscribers - they can't remove you, only the list owner can! try owner-krisgigs@smoe.org instead.) ------------------------------ End of krisgigs-digest V2 #11 *****************************
