I received this e-mail today.
http://www.sasim.co.uk/scoobynet/ms_email.jpg It immediately struck me as very suspicious because: a)I am not registered to receive Microsoft updates on this e-mail address b)It came from rbomvfxjopfen_vejf@advisor_msdn.net c)It has and attachment called Install4.exe I looked at the Windows update site and there is no mention of this update, so it looks like some muppet has found an ingenious way to deliver a virus or worm to the masses. Apologies if everyone is aware of this one already, It's the first time I’ve seen it. Stuart |
Yep it's a virus called W32/Swen@MM. It was discovered at the end of last week and is medium risk.

Bin the e-mail, don't open the attachment. As you have worked out it's not from Microsoft.
This type of e-mail has been doing the rounds lately. |
It was binned as soon as I saw it, along with another one.
Oops just noticed the same subject running below, I'm slow off the mark as usual :rolleyes: |
I had one last week from support@microsoft (or something similar).............

I've had this one four times now!
Install Zone Alarm Pro, it scans attachments on emails and quaranteened each of these attachments. |
I have received this 9 times, all from different email addresses with a size of 155kb to 156kb.
Damn virus writers. |
All times are GMT +1. The time now is 07:58 AM. |
