Title: Virus Spoof
Post by Tom Roberts on Mar 3rd, 2004 at 7:17am
It's appears to be from noreply@autonerdz.com

Here is what it looks like:
----------------------------------------

E-mail account disabling warning.

Dear user, the  management of Autonerdz.com  mailing system wants  to let you  know that,

Your e-mail account will be disabled  because of improper using in  next
three  days, if you  are still  wishing to use it, please, resign your
account information.

For further details see the attach.

For security  purposes the attached file  is password  protected. Password is "87074".

   The Autonerdz.com team                            http://www.autonerdz.com

The attachment is a zip file.  Do not open it!  It's either a virus, or someone is trying to get your account info.  

Suggestion...make sure your email is indicated as not visible to the public in your profile.

Hi Tom

I had an email from my ISP last night with a similar content (password number) to open zip file attachment, I hesitated and thought about it then phoned my provider On the first menu of the phone line there was a warning not to open these zip file's.

Question is should we just delete them or Quarantine them in the Norton antivirus.

Hi Mike,

Delete them without opening the attachment.

Here is another variation:

Dear user of Autonerdz.com gateway e-mail server,

Our  main mailing server will be temporary unavaible for next two days,
to continue  receiving  mail  in these days you  have to configure our  free
auto-forwarding  service.

For details see  the attach.

Attached file protected with  the password  for security reasons. Password is 86101.
