Title: VIRUS WARNING !!
Post by: jimtheworzel on April 20, 2013, 16:13:24
e:mail sent to me to day


The following warning is being circulated regarding a computer virus:

'Sophos, Kaspersky, and AVG are warning of the tactic being used to spread the Windows Trojan Tepfer, usually in emails entitled "Explosion at Boston Marathon." The link for more information comes with an IP address and an HTML page ending in "news.html" or "boston.htm" that leads to a page of videos. 60 seconds later the Trojan tries to install itself in the background.'

I have also been told that the explosion at the american fertiliser factory  is also being used as a link.

Very good advice.

If in doubt simply don't open it - if you do then do not follow any links or open any attachments.
Added it to your SPAM list.
