Virus emails

It's amazing how everything old becomes new again.

A mail in my inbox this morning titled " Order Approval Notification" from Spysoft Central. Given the attachment has a .jpg.exe suffix, it's obvious that it's a virus.

A quick Google reveals this is the Bancos Trojan and this particular one has been around since mid July.

We've been seeing a lot of this sort of thing, from "e-cards" to warnings that the NAB is about to go bust. All are trying to install Trojan programs on to victim's computers.

It's another reason why we are recommending all users move to Limited User accounts. The nuisance value is less than the risk of these things.
