Stupid Virus/Spam tricks

Various scams, bad things, and dangerous things that e-mail can bring- and good reasons to use RSS!

Another e-mail virus- that looks legit

Virus alert- this is an e-mail that looks like someone trying to help you-
from someone you don’t know.
Never- open an attachment from someone you don’t know- and didn’t ask for- while this seems legit- it’s actually a virus- not a screen shot.
They are hoping you, as the intelligent blogger- might want to know something about your site- instead it installs a virus on PC’s- the “so.scr” virus-

This is one more reason RSS rules!

Kind regards,
