screen saver warning

Post by Phineus »

I got an email today with a screensaver as an attachment. The only message was "Please see the attached file." It looks like a nasty. If you get something like that I highly recommend you delete it without a second look.

Definitely dumpster-material....trash it!



Also....any unsolicited emails from microsoft should be tossed and never opened.....

...Some virus's are coming in emails labeled Microsoft.support.com or similar...MS support doesn't contact people randomly through email like that.......trust me.....

Of course, if you requested support from them first, then of course reply......otherwise, be wise.....


I saw something about this at Symantec.com (Norton Antivirus) last week.

Yeah, definately trash em. I recieved 13 emails this past week all containing Klez. Good thing I keep my antivirus up to date. It detected all of them, some of which were .scr, .bat, .inf, .exe...so on.

Be careful everyone, there's some really nasty stuff out there.
