Heads Up Folks!
Today I received an Email titled: "Your Amazon.com order (and then a sequence of numbers...)".
Now I well knew I personally had NOT made any orders through Amazon...
But...
Maybe The Missuz did! 'Tis that time of year after all... Hmmmmmm...
So I Stupidly decided to Sneak A Peek and maybe just find out what She might have got me for Christmas...
MISTAKE! :o
Although two of the AV programs caught it, the damn thing managed to disable one of them (taking an hour to get back up to snuff) and was a Real PAIN to eventually get rid of! Keep in mind I run 4 AV programs at all times. This one was NASTY!
Thought I'd letcha all know, Be Careful out there!!
Cheers,

Got a few of those myself but I know Amazon never sends you a zip file, and another tell tale sign is the file size...why zip a 48kb file??

Download and Run Malwarebytes should clean it up pretty good for you. Its free. For anyone with nasty malware.

Second vote for Malwarebytes, great program for cleaning infected computers.

Computer viruses are like STDs,the more you screw around the better your chance of getting one.

I recieved one of those email. I was going to order a book from Amazon untill I found out that the shipping cost was twice the cost of the book. A day later the email appears in my inbox. I went and checked my Amazon account and no I had no book orders there. Delete. I would like to send to the originator a virus like herpes or aids. You know some thing that they will remember for the rest of there lives.. Maybe even this is too good for them. I lost lots of personal stuff due to viruses.
