It contains an attachment named 'DD269901.zip'
It's called 'Downloader.Bancos'

It's an information stealer. Seems like it's being mass mailed as it went to my unique hotmail.co.uk account.

    News:

    07/21/06 I've notified the proper authorities (ic3.gov) internet
    crimes division of the email spoofs. All customers
    are reporting the same thing that they have a
    fraudlent charge from the payee of this website and
    the order#dd26990.

    Please understand that the charges you may have
    received on your credit card were not charged by this
    site, this site neither charges customers directly, nor
    solicits emails of any kind.

    07/20/06 Today I have received many complaint emails about
    fradulent charges charged to
    https://www.spysoftcentral.com, first off
    https://www.spysoftcentral.com does not charge any money
    directly to this site, all money goes through
    companies like esellerate.net and
    https://www.clickbank.com, the emails were sent by
    someone claiming to be from this site, however the
    charges are going else where. Please do not open
    the attachments to these emails, many have told me
    that they contain viruses. Please dispute this
    charge, I am looking into this matter.

    I don't have a credit card either. My bank details are not linked to this email address.

    So people don't open it up.
  • erm, such mails have been sent out for the last zillion years, if this is your 1st then you are lucky lol. Press delete, move on.

    Its not uncommon to see virus files appear to come from friends addresses too, i think these still catch people out, i know my m8s often pass round games and stuff and just load em up without thinking, one day it'll be a virus :(

    You miss the point, it was posted so those less savvy would not get infected.

    Last year I received 10,000+ of em.

    Now do you understand the point?
