Hopefully this isn't a DUP! _______________________________ has anyone else been absolutely inundated with trojan laced (clickable URL) emails in the last 2 weeks? I've received no less than 55 emails all bearing the same construct/ploy: "you have received a postcard/egreeting/whatever the fluck" from a "mate/friend/high school chum/your dentist/next door neighbor/the dog from down the street/your mom/your bit** GF!".... and then the kicker is that the "retrieve" URL is something like 67.128.44.149/alsdjfbhlasfbaljshdkajhsrgweg I hope these people die a horrible fiery death! I of course knew better, my wife who SHOULD know better wasn't thinking and BAM! Herpes!! (computer version) but luckily Zonealarm Security Suite nipped the nasties in the bud
don't you love that here's one of the emails and the gifts you receive: Trojan-downloader.JS.Agent.kd Packed.Win32.Tibs.ap
Zone alarm is a good security suite. I have seen this too, It used to be on myspace. All these noobs were getting phished. I don't see how people can be so gullible on the net. If they see a link from some1 they don't know, they click it lol.
myspace was so bad there for a while, it was quite ridiculous! I'll give my wife a pass in this case based on extenuating circumstances. Z.A.S.S. has been very good. I decided to go with them b/c ironically I really liked the Outlook/OE spam filter!! apparently the filter is not smart enough yet
I love the greetings. "hello, neighbor has sent you a card". Oh good, my neighbor who I have never met sent me something. I wonder what it is.
I know right! They don't even know my name...how did they procure my email addy?? "partner" is another bone head one...partner of what! had a funny spam just a minute ago, "I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog"...if only!!
