Sparks Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Over the past week i've been getting two or three emails a day from people who have accounts with Hotmail. The all have the same one word message " important" and have a file attachment. I don't know any of these people and I'm certainly not going to open any of the attachments. Anybody else having the same experience and what do you think?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhat Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yes I get them every hour .. their dodgy just delete em :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I went through a spate of getting emails like that.... or similar. As Redhat says, they are dodgy.... probably a virus in the attachment. So just delete them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yeah i just keep deleting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 i got them...when you go to download the file it is dissallowed because it is a variation of the nesky virus :mellow: i only opened it cause i got it from a friend of mine and not a random adress (probably why it didnt got to junk mail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drovers Dog Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 :P Usually even if it is from someone I know, unless I know that that friend has sent an attachment, I always check first before opening! If it is from someone unknown, I just delete the whole thing!But we can all get caught! Just make sure your OS and AV is ALWAYS Up to Date!!! :wub: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
