I got an e-mail off of one of our members in here. (founder of IWOC)It had an attachement to it which was an .exe file ???
I mailed him back (on his website e-mail)not the same one that he sent it with, asking what he had sent as I was reluctant to open it being an .exe. No reply.... So would any trust worthy member with decent anti-virus software like to recieve a mail off me with said attachment and open it to see what it is. name of file is "fwi acc details.t.exe" by the name of the file it could be something private but why an exe file??????? Andy :confused: |
Go to www.webimmune.net and upload it. You can save the attachment to your hard drive, just don't double click it.
If the above sounds too risky, send it to me at jclark@nai.com |

This virus can fake the From: header so don't go punching anyone :D
|
It's ok I'm not a double hard barstard anyway :D
to late to try and find out where it came from anyway. Iv'e wiped all trace of it off my pc :( Andy |
aha, the bugbear virus. very common this one, in the office we have blocked 130 emails in the last few days. anyway the virus fakes the from address. basically it came from someone who has both you and the person who it was reported as coming from in their address book.

Tracked my 2 'hits' back to a national estate agent....imagine the number of eMail addresses they have :eek:
