Virus Attack
If anyone recieved an email with an atttachment containing a virus from me I am very sorry. I recieved a virus packet from a forum members address, I am sure it was an attack like mine, and opened it. It was stupid to open it, but since it was entitled PRICE, I thought it was a chance to buy a MOD. Before I could shut down and spend all night getting the virus, W32 Beagle, out of the system it was sending emails faster than I realized. I am very sorry if something was sent to you.

I got an email with the "price" attachment but didn't recognize the sender so I didn't open it, and immediately ran Norton Antivirus because it was attempting to make my system access the internet for unauthorized reasons.
I don't think it came from you, but it is odd you're having this problem.
There are far too many hackers out there stealing people's email addresses and sending mass mailings under them it is ridiculous.
Thanks for the warning, though....

It is indeed a virus. Here is a snipit from trend micro on it:
We have analyzed the file you sent: price.exe (14,848 bytes), and verified that it contains malicious codes, and will be detecting it as TROJ_YMEREJ.A.
price.html (1,086 Bytes) - This file automatically executes price.exe and will be detected as HTML_YMEREJ.A We are currently analyzing the malware and will inform you of further updates.
Our initial analysis:
TROJ_YMEREJ.A - This malware is a trojan downloader that downloads and executes another malware. Currently, the malware being downloaded is not yet available.
HTML_YMEREJ.A - This malware comes with TROJ_YMEREJ.A that automatically executes TROJ_YMEREJ.A
Have a virus-free day.
Critical Update: New Pattern File Numbering Format Product Upgrade required before Pattern File 980.
