Figured I'd post this here so all subs/support team would see it. I just got the following e-mail sent to my dirtrider.net account:


The attachment is password protected so it keeps some virus programs from scanning the file. I am assuming this is bogus and a virus but I haven't been able to confirm what type of virus because of the password issue. I am certain if you enter the password it will execute the file and infect the PC. I tried forwarding the message to my home account so I could check the message with Norton's but either the DRN outgoing server or my incoming mail server is recognizing that the attached info.zip is a virus because the forwarded mails never arrive.

Delete it! It is a virus. Okie sent an email out. It was not signed, "The Management".

I got Okie's e-mail about the server being down message or something like that. It's long since deleted, I was just giving a heads up to the rest of the folks on some different variations of this virus e-mail. :thumb:

I've been getting similar emails. Got one from "DRN", and another from my "Computer Manager" at work. I also get several per day at all my email addresses, all of which are "Re: Your File", or, "Your Music", or "Hi". The auto preview always shows the same thing-"You have been infected, yadda-yadda, open attached file..." Lots of grammatical errors, too. It's almost comical.
