Some of these messages are including an attachment which is most definatley a virus in every shape and form; note that if I ever do send you a message, it sures hell won't contain one  ... The following are some examples of what people may be recieving: Message containing Virus name: W32.Beagle.A@mm Dear user of e-mail server " UnderGroundNews.com", Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions. Advanced details can be found in attached file. Kind regards, The UnderGroundNews.com team http://www.undergroundnews.com I'm not sure what is contained in test.zip but I'm sures hell not going to open it. Dear user of e-mail server " UnderGroundNews.com", Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions. Please, read the attach for further details. For security purposes the attached file is password protected. Password is "47206". Cheers, The UnderGroundNews.com team http://www.undergroundnews.com Ok, a few things if you recieve a message LIKE that from UGN. 1. I don't sign a message that way, comeon, it's UGN Security if anything. 2. If you spam from your account, you don't recieve a notice, it'll be deleted on the spot. 3. Who the hell opens a message that way? 4. "Some of our clients" clients? We have clients? since when? 5. Use common sense, if you see an attachment from a non existant email address, don't open the damn thing. | | | |

I received one of these (with an attachment) from someone pretending to be from the management dept. at Yahoo.com. Here is what it read: Dear user of e-mail server "Yahoo.com", Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions. Pay attention on attached file. Have a good day, The Yahoo.com team http://www.yahoo.com I did not open the attachment, of course. I sent it onto Yahoo, but I thought that perhaps others would like to know about this. Some people do not think, they merely react, when they see an attachment from a source they believe is trusted. Anyway, that's all that I wanted to say. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | My one sugguestion, virus scan everything; validate headers and be sure it's meant to be sent from the source. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 419 UGN Member | | UGN Member Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 419 | My wife just got the same form but it said it was from Cox. she called me in and said hey how do i open this thing even though NAV was flipping out,lol. we had a long discussion about security after that. i recommend everyone turn on email scanning, NAV just deletes it as it comes in to you inbox if it is a virus.
