I am seeing around a two dozen or more virus laden emails a day right now all with the same general subject lines such as:

“payment request from "Qualcomm" or “payment request from "Google"” or “Your Credit Balance is over its limit”

These all contain a backdoor Trojan in the attachment so again and again I remind everyone to not click those attachments you get in email. I like that “transaction inspector module”, they are always looking for something that will just make people click away, well DON’T!

I’ve seen a number of these hitting a less than public email address so that tells me there are probably a large number being sent out. Typical grammar issues abound in the subject and body, the alert came from and was emailed to the same address and of course included something you are suppose to run. Well do run, run away that is, Delete, Delete, Delete.

Be warned of a very authentic looking email claiming to be from Microsoft saying you need to install an update patch for Outlook. Microsoft DOES NOT send out such notices. Do not click links in emails just because they look valid. Below is a copy of the email:

Free Speech? What in the world are they thinking about in Virginia? Some Spammer makes use of my private network to send his Spam and that’s protected Free Speech?

“That statute is unconstitutionally overbroad on its face because it prohibits the anonymous transmission of all unsolicited bulk e-mails including those containing political, religious or other speech protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution,” the ruling stated.

Court Doesn’t Like Spam, But Will Defend Right To E-Mail It
