Virus Warning Received

Recommended Posts

Here's some more unsavoury scareware that I received today...

 

 

Subject: Take measures immediately!

Dear, MY_USER_NAME!

 

Spam sending from your computer was detected.

We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: [VIRUS WEBLINK REMOVED] If you do not pass this test we will have to delete your account and forward a complaint to your ISP with attached log file (your IP address, etc.).

 

 

Yes I too have received this today. The URL then displays a nice clever script that runs a flash file showing all of the contaminated files on my PC - oh dear oh dear, I really must buy the software that they recommend, otherwise I'm in really really serious trouble...

 

NOT - NOT - NOT

 

If you get this message, delete the email or report it to your ISP.

 

 

Warning

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY SOFTWARE OF THIS NATURE!!!
