Re: [Full-Disc]: Xmas virus on the cards ?

Hi,

I noticed this article at http://www.vnunet.com/News/1151553 and
it looks alarming - however did not find any more details. 

To me, it sounds like someone has misunderstood the "social
engineering" of an URL that seems to lead to a picture...

http://www.somedomain.com/picture.jpg

Where "picture.jpg" is in fact a folder, not a file, so, a "normal"
HTML page is sent to the browser instead.

Aka, nothing to care about or filter at all, except trying to keep
your browser as safe as possible, to prevent exploits in the HTML-page.

Best regards,
Anders
