I agree with ^.
Such codes can still make SOME sense though.

BMÞ       6   &#40;               ¨                   ÿÿÿÿÿÿ   ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ      ÿÿÿ         ÿÿÿ         ÿÿÿ   ÿÿÿ         ÿÿÿ   ÿÿÿ   ÿÿÿÿÿÿ   ÿÿÿÿÿÿ                     ÿÿÿ   ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ   ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ

I guess a space means "white" and ÿ means "black".

So is this why you get warnings about executables? That's the thing about executables. They simply execute everything in them. They don't even think about the consequences of their actions.

Whoops, poor executables!

Forgot them when making that definition of file.

An executable executes every processor-understandable command in them. If they meet an illegal command, they crash.
Other files are interpreted by executables, so... yeah, I guess you could THEORETICALLY make a JPG that formats your hard drive on opening, but that would be nigh impossibly hard.

because we are talking about files, I just wanted to let you know so you have a heads up.

DO NOT open files from ANY email ect. that have anything to do with "Life is beautiful" it will say "Your life is no longer Beautiful" and will "KILL" you computer plus, the hacker who made this virus will get access to your name,email address,and password.this can not be killed by ANY virus blocker!

what

Translation; You'll flame anyone who thinks it's not real until you're banned from the forum.

Besides, why would ANYONE on this forum make up something about a virus like that? It's already known that this forum take virus warnings like this seriously.

That's a harsh statement, and I don't think that it should even REMOTELY be allowed.

Surprise! They would!
While you DO have to be careful with e-mails, and NEVER EVER download attachments that you haven't expected, "Life is Beautiful" is a known fake. And before duncan starts flaming me, here's PROOF to make him unable to flame the topic:

Whoa, hold up. Read the rest of my post apart from the translation, you should be able to understand I made a mistake...

@ Muzo: ... or two. I meant to say anyone on this forum, oops.

I have a reason for the first one though, learning FSL (French *as a* Second Language) messes with my english, maybe I should hire an army of Grammar Nazis with the almighty Grammer Hammer

As for the second one, that was just a mistake, I go fix my post now.
