Virus through fake paypal email!!!!!

[stevemac]

ok, first off, mods you might want to sticky this. I'm gtting these fake paypal emails at my cyber-rights email, this is the only place that i give my cyber-rights email to so someone is sending it from here. I got a crap load of them. people, do not open these, they are fake, paypal is not shutting down your account. it is a trojan hourse virus.

Bro, I've been getting those damn things almost everyday for the past month to my Hushmail. I also keep getting this email called a "Microsoft patch"...that "needs to be installed immediately". I just delete them.

To possibly validate what you said about it being connected to Meso, I opened a Cyber-rights account a few weeks ago just to see if it will be sent there too, and it has not been send to that address even once. I have only been emailing a friend of mine with that account...no one from Meso. Hmmmmmm.

PS...I don't even have a Paypal account!...never have either.

I made the mistake of opening that attachment,,,There is a cure if you have Symantec(Norton)anti-virus,,,Goto their website and download FxMiMail then run it,,,VDC

I Get Those Things All The Time. Thanks For The Heads Up Bro

Its a fucking mutating virus, just delete and block it. symantec, norton anti virus and firewall will work for these and almost any virus right now, just keep updating.

I'm getting the same crap also. I just blocked the sender. I figured it was a virus since paypal doesn't know my cyber-rights account.

I get dozens of them everyday on both cyber-rights and ziplip. The other that I get a shyte load of is from MSN saying I need to apply a patch. This I know is BS as well.

been going around awhile now. i haven't gotten any the last couple of weeks

Block it . ..

open the email (not the attachment) and click on block which will be right next to attachments and you will not receive another one. I used to get tons of those until somebody on meso told me this a while ago.

hope this helps .. . . . . .(I use ziplip. I am not sure how to do this on other applications, but I am sure it can be done)
