MSNMessengerattach421.exe is a suspected threat that I am currently analyzing and have sent to another researcher to help with.  I believe that this file is a new virus and will post an update when/if confirmed.

tru.dat

Don't accept any links from people you don't know, and always make sure that the link has the right extension for the type of file their sending/linking. If they send you a picture and it's a .exe, that should put up a big warning flag. As always, common sense is the best antivirus.
