Virus Alert .... Bugbear is going around.

[cphilip]

This one picks up email addresses and attaches files to them in odd formats. Namely a .exe or some other odd file extentions that you should not open.

The sender of the email will appear to be someone you know or someone that has emailed you in the past or that you have emailed. The sender is NOT sending it to you nor does he/she know it was sent. DO NOT open any attached files unless you know what they are and are expecting them. And get your antivirus software updated for this latest version of Bugbear that is going around.

My Norton quaranteened 2 this morning and I recieved one from my Boss's email addy that was suspicious as well.

Nice link Mikey101.

Also read the article in your link about the eBay and Square Trade dealieo with the Fraudulent eBay company. Seems Square Trade is not all it's thought to be either. Wanna see if eBay drops em like a hot potato soon?

yea, that's real crappy how square trade advertised their services. If they went ahead and reimbursed the victims as usual, eash one would get a total of $1.00 back!
