Crypt forward it onto me dude, if it really is a virus my scanner will pick it up.

Just recived an E mail from neil@neil-lynda.fsnet.co.uk heading Footer end containing just an attachment called TYPE.ZIP.

I dont know this person but upon inspecting the return path, the e mail it gives is of a person whom I do know.

Does this sound suspicious to anyone else?

It remains unopened atm.

 

run virus scan

 

Just delete it, I can 99.999% say that it is a virus.

 

Just phone them and ask if they sent it. Thats the easiest way.

It is easy to fake the from field in emails. I would look into the message header and see what smtp server the email originated from and see if its in the same domain as the sender.

Also the return address is not always the senders address.

H

 

I have a virus scan running but it doesnt scan unopened e mails.

Deleated now anyway as i've spoken to the person whom the redirect points to and he knows nothing about it, and has been alerted to a virus in one of his mails.

Now deleated on advice of Ian W if thats next weeks lotto numbers dont expect a xmas card!

 

1) It's 'deleted'
2) If that is next weeks lotto numbers then that means more money for me!
3) You dont know where I live to send the card too

 

Well if you were using a real mail client, and a decent ISP you could scan your mails before opening them!

 

Hence why I don't use my Little Miss @ AOL addy

 

Sounds a bit like the Klez virus...............hey Chris?

 

Something masquerading inside a zip file?

SHould have sent it to jack... Could have been a new 'un?

 

Pahh, pedent.

I dont have his mail addy.

 

Anyone have jacks mail addy? I have had it sent me again! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Send it here Vsample@nai.com. Or upload it to http://www.webimmune.net/

My email's a bit messy at the moment.

 

YBHM, got this back though so it's defo klez..
