I received a gesture from a person I thought was a friend in Excite Chat. The name of the gesture was **beer2.vpa**. Well immediately after downloading the gesture I got an illegal operation in my VP program. I then immediately scanned my comp for a virus and came up with nothing. I thought it was a fluke. Well the next time I got on to VP I checked my gesture pallet. I only saw one new gesture it was a **black button**. When I moused over the button the bottom of the gesture pallet said "ha ha stupid fu**" (actual F word used) Well I wanted to try it. When I clicked on it I got the same illegal operation. Still not convinced of what was actually happening I did the whole thing over. Again I got an illegal operation. Finally I deleted the gesture beer2.vpa and have not been having any trouble since.
This is a warning!! Do not accept the beer2.vpa gesture!! We all have to be very careful about what we accept. Even if you think you know someone you really don't!! Please be careful when receiving gestures in VP.... I learned my lesson and it could of been alot worse then what it was.
