[QUOTE="Ramblin, post: 16761, member: 170"] LNK. files can become infected and should be scanned or run sandboxed if you receive a file with that extension. My quote from your post perfectly describes how people get infected with this kind of malware. The problem can also be that your friend, something he did, changed which program opens what file. You can try changing that manually or try SR. Personally, to me,smells like an infected computer. This could have been avoided completely if your friend had been running under the protection of Sandboxie or some other sandbox. Bo [/QUOTE]
