Virus?

[Caid Ivik]

I'm being bombarded by weird e-mails from generated addresses with various text, but always with one EXE file (also with generated name) with size about 100 kB. Has anybody encountered here too last days? It is extremely annoying, as I have very limited mailbox size...[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

umm, what is your filetype that is attached? is it a screenshot?

When I tried to download it and open windows asked me to look for a file to open the file cause it didn't know what program to use to open it.

[lowzeewee]

It's a screenshot.Open it with an image program.

There are 2 mails saying 'You have a trojan horse in your PC' and there is one in a language I don't understand and also,there are 2 other non-related mails as well.

Can you please post the exact message encrypted,I would like to see them! :)

Also you might as well check www.symantec.com for these files or email subjects. But if it is junk mail don't open them anyways, put on block list or delete them. (depending on your email account, hotmail, ISP, whatever)

Can you please post the exact message encrypted

What's the encryption for ?

The attatched file is probably a trojan or viri. . .do what you should do with emails you don't know or trust. . . delete them. :)

hello, I am from Switzerland and you'll don't believe me,

but a trojan horse in on your pc.

I've scanned the network-ports on the internet. (I know, that's illegal)

And I have found your pc. Your pc is open on the internet for everybody!

Because the services.exe trojan is running on your system.

Check this, open the task manager and try to stop that!

You'll see, you can't stop this trojan.

When you use win98/me you can't see the trojan!!

On my system was this trojan, too!

And I've found a tool to kill that bad thing.

I hope that I've helped you!

Sorry for my bad english!

Because the services.exe trojan is running on your system.

That's a Legit Windows process. . .

Check this, open the task manager and try to stop that!

You'll see, you can't stop this trojan.

What trojan. .. my Windows version I have installed myself ?

As Services.exe is a legit Windows part.

When you use win98/me you can't see the trojan!!

Because it's an NT feature. . . darn this dude is really getting dumber by the minute. . ..

On my system was this trojan, too!

well. . . he seems stupid enought for it. ...

And I've found a tool to kill that bad thing.

a tool to kill a Windows process ?. . .well. . at least there is some hounesty in the true nature of the attached file. ..

I hope that I've helped you!

well . . .you gave me a good laugh. . . that's something isn't it. . ?

Sorry for my bad english!

that's not all you need to be sorry for. ... :P

I have that kind of message periodically and I delete them automatically. A message from someone I don't know with an attached file = waste of time going to garbage.
