Hallo rod,

Oh, because I've no sample I don't know the exact name, but I've seen a  
warning in the german av echo.

Ok, it's no email virus, but i think it's dangerous to say "oh, by email  
no virus can ever be transmitted".

Via email. Here, you've posted it. But ShareForFun "postes" itself,  
therefore it's no virus that can't be spread just by reading e-mail, but  
he needs no human help to send itself to other adresses.
hmm... i think that would be a computer worm?
Ciao, Lukas
