Funner virus doing rounds on Messenger (again)

[detn8r]

Over the past 24 hours, I've had several people messaging me trying to send "funny.exe". Obviously a virus. I did some research, and I came up with the following reference: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1675472,00.asp

It seems to be about a month old, but it's doing its rounds again. So, be sure to know, if a friend sends you a file called "funny.exe" it IS a virus. And do your friend the favor, and direct them to this thread.

For removol instructions and more information about the threat of this virus, see link above.

Good luck, and post any questions below.

Sorry for asking what is probably a mindbogglingly obvious thing, but...

"Messenger viruses" can only infect your PC if someone you're chatting with someone, and they try to send you an virus-installation file, and you accept and run it, right? There is no other way, am I correct?
