 Attention readers!!
BEWARE of possible virus-infested messages
that are currently going around! Read
more...
|
Another Virus warning:
The U.S. Postal Service has issued a warning about bogus emails being sent about a package delivery or online postage
charges.
The emails, which claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service, contain a link or attachment that, when opened, installs
a malicious virus that can steal personal information from a recipient's computer. The messages contain fraudulent
information about an attempted or intercepted package delivery or online postage charges.
As with most viruses sent by e-mail, clicking on the link or opening the attachment will activate a virus that
can steal information such as the recipient's user name, password and financial account information. Those who
receive the email should not click on the link within the email or open the attachment. Instead, recipients should
delete the message. |
