Remember that this "will" affect you if you untar the tgz and open the file.

So: don't go untarring "latestpics.tgz". Don't run as root/Admin. And don't inform unidentified apps of your password. (i.e. stop being an fwit).

See http://www.electro-music.com/forum/topic-9780.html for more of the same.
