This one must be going out to millions of people. It’s at least the third version of it I have seen, and yes, it also has the malware (virus) in it. If you get this one, the best thing to do is just delete it even before reading it. This message is not for UPS [...]

Well, I’ll tell you one thing. If you open the attachment that came with this message, you might very well end up with a “Problem.” The attachment contains a virus which was caught and removed by my anti-virus software and was not sent by UPS as it claims. Nice try amateurs, but you didn’t make [...]

Here’s a fresh and nasty one! The link in this spam e-mail takes you to a site that will probably try to infect your computer with something nasty. It has been flagged by Google as a harmful site and a quick look at the source code on the site certainly makes me suspect that there’s [...]

I’m not sure exactly what it is, but it’s very likely to be something that will not be good for your PC! Just DELETE this message if you get it. From: "www.paypal.com" <service@paypal.com> Subject: PayPal [...]

Here’s an interesting change of pace. I have not seen one of these for a while. Trust me, the person who sent me this is not my “friend.” Far from it. These are sent to lure unsuspecting recipients to a website that will probably attempt to load malicious software on their computer. This is usually [...]

I strongly advise against opening the attachment to this message. It may include code that is intended to exploit a vulnerability in a PDF reader program (probably Adobe Reader) and possibly infect your PC with malicious software that could turn your PC into a “zombie.” That’s a reference to a computer that has had a [...]
