roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted July 31, 2012 Got an email tonight (from my civilian email, so no worries here) from someone I know and trust on my address book. I opened it, but not the link, and once opened, it goes to all your contacts in your address book The title of the email, and it would come (well seem to come) from someone you know is titled Private Message You see an email with that title, delete it, it is a virus My anti virus from my ISP is crap, didn't catch it. Tomorrow to Wal Mart to buy a good anti virus RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The General 11309 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 Yes, I have seen this one before, and it looks like from someone trusted, and if you open it, you spam everyone in your contacts. Sucks, but if it looks a bit peculiar, don't open the link, just delete. I am not sure, it has gotten through my anti-virus, and many of my friends too, so not sure investing in new protection will do the trick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

conquistador 18487 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 try using avast, it's free and works great. but for going through emails not sure. i had this problem with hotmail and not sure if an anti-virus would actually have prevented me from getting the email??...i knew what it was and just deleted it. anyways, recommend avast as good as anything bought in a store...imho.

The General 11309 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 Did you open or delete? Did your antivirus detect it? I got hit today too.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jafo105 39057 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 I had a problem yesterday. Someone in the states was accessing my e-mail. Fortunately Rogers caught it and notified me. I have since changed my password. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
