Hello guys! I have received something odd last night via my e-mail client! Ive got a clicky.gif file and I dont know what to do with it! Should I open it or should I remove it? I have run a few tests with my anti-virus software but nothing showed up. I am beginning to think that this is some evolved new virus? Anyone got an idea what clicky.gif is? Please respond!

Hi there! I have heard about such file(s) but I dont recall being a virus. You see, a virus must have an .exe extension but this one youve got has a .gif. Meaning that maybe someone has played with a virus and had changed it into this kind of file type. But that is not to worry about! You see, if it has a different extension of exe it is not harmful, so you can freely open it. You will probably see some .gif animation and then you could remove it if you dont like it. I have also heard that clicky.gifs like sneaking through Yahoo, so it might be some gaga of theirs.
