Email from Dell Customer Care
Thursday, November 16th, 2006I received an email from what I will call one of my junk email accounts that appeared to have come from Dell Customer Care. The email contained what appeared to be an order confirmation for a Sony Vaio?? I Did not know I could even by a Sony from Dell, but that doesn’t matter.
The email contained a zip file attachment that was supposed to contain a PDF of my order. Since my computer is heavily protected, my curiousity was peaked, so I decided to open up the zip file. Guess what, my EZTrust Anti-Virus program alerted me than the email contained a virus named: Win32/Hasdoor.BQ. Can’t really tell you that I was shocked.
This just enfources the need to be real careful with opening up email attachments especially if something doesn’t seem right. Most Internet Service Providers allow you to create multiple email accounts and we highly recommend that you create an extra one just to use when needed on sites that are looking for an email address. This helps to prevent your main one from getting a ton of crap email messages.
