Beware people. This is a virus.
What it is: It is a website. You will receive an email that says something like that: Your friend would like to show you some cool pictures!(example only) Go to this website: nustuff4u.com (and obviously you don't). But if you do, then they will ask you for your Windows Live email address and password for you to receive the pictures. Once you fill in both blanks your a goner.
What it does: When you are offline, it will seek this moment to send that email to all your friends(mentioned above). But it's a virus, so don't open it. The email address bar is: nustuff4u
What happens: Two things can happen once you open the email. 1)You get the virus, and your computer doesn't work anymore. 2)You open the email, but nothing happens(thanks to your com's firewall, I should think). And you click the hyperlink to the website, fill in both blanks, then, voila! You start sending viruses to you friends.
Or actually, you don't. That computer software or something(I don't really know how it works) starts sending this email to your friends.
What happens if 2) happens to you: Change your password. I'm not sure if that will work, but I changed mine(because I stupidly filled in the two blanks), and I think that I'm not sending any viruses any more.
Another thing, people who are victims of this thing don't know that they are sending this kind of stuff. They need to be told, and so that they can take action, and stop the virus from spreading. For all you know, he/she might have hundreds of contacts.
