OT virus
In case anyone else gets this...
I've just had a message purporting to come from my ISP (Virgin.net), saying that a lot of spam has been coming from my e-mail address, and suggesting that my computer had become infected by a trojan, and that I should follow the instructions in the attachment. This surprised me a little, as I have efficient and reputable anti-virus etc. software. When I downloaded the message (I read it first through Mailwasher), my a-v software detected a virus in the attachment and deleted it. So the whole thing was a hoax and a means of spreading its own virus. You have been warned! BTW, it says on Virgin's website that they never send attachments to e-mails. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
