It's being forwarded to loads of members on here to, but I do'nt understand it?? Is it a virus??

It also has an attachment which I did not open.

Looks well dodgy to me!!

I'm sure Hotmail wouldn't be sending out mail with embedded code. I don't think windows even lets you run it from emails now??

I just had this sent from Karls hotmail

Guys

 

DONOT I say again DONOT open this.

 

It contains a keylogger, report it to microsoft please as well as your ISP so both can track the sender.

 

 

If you have opened it, for gods sake donot go to your online banking accounts.

:shock: Is it only a problem if you open up the attachment or the email it's self??

Don't know for sure but if your windows is up to date it wont run .exe files from within an email for security. May not even run the attachment even if you tried. I had some problems the other day trying to get a program running that someone had sent me in an email. Very annoying but protects against things like this I suppose. Have you got up to date virus programs and firewall?

Give this a shot if you have opened it up...

I only read the email not opened the attachment.

the attachment that came through to me was a GIF file ?.

 

Just deleted it anyway - thought it was crap

it's just a pile of crap, had a few of those before, just delete it

Yeah got that this arvo - strange as our company antivirus & Spy sweeper software never picked anything up..

 

I've deleted it in any case.
