PERRIN.EXE is not a virus; it is a hoax or an e-mail message that tricks users into thinking that a new virus called PERRIN.EXE is spreading, which doesn’t actually exist.

PERRIN.EXE tries gain users’ trust by giving some apparently real information.

Its aim is to cause alarm and get users to forward the message.

In order to avoid problems, disregard this information, as it is completely false. You should also immediately delete the message, without forwarding it to anyone.

PERRIN.EXE arrives in an apparently normal e-mail message, but which can be identified by its message. The message text always refers to a virus called PERRIN.EXE.
