Incredible story indeed.

I've heard that Mc Donald's sold infected MP3 recently.

It becomes dangerous to listen to music those days....

Tu le peux, mais tu priveras la trés grande majorité de la communauté de tes connaissances et expériences... :frown:

Pour ce qui est d'un virus en format JPEG, j'en ai aussi entendu parlé mais je ne possède aucune certitude... Je ferai donc des recherches sur le sujet... mais seulement quand l'opérateur nationnal me permettra de récupérer le 8 méga sur mon adsl... :furious:

Merci pour tes commentaires et n'hésites pas à me laisser des idées de sujets... :wink:
