First of all, why did you open a file, which you obviously don't trust? This is a very serious error. Same thing considers emails from unknown senders. I beleive that isn't security risk for you, but next time don't click those viruses. If you want to know what kind of malware it was use for example: http://anubis.iseclab.org/ http://virusscan.jotti.org/ Maybe your client is configured to open win32 binaries in wine, which in my opinion isn't very smart thing to do, because of these cases. --- Henri Salo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-security-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
