This is an e mail I got and thought I would pass it on.
New Virus "Robot"
Yes,unfortunately it's true. Another virus has been discovered and it is quickly working it's way
around the internet. The name of the virus is "Robot" and it looks as if this one has perfected
the use of trickery. The virus comes in through an e mail, with the scammers conning you into thinking they're going to help you, but they actually infect you instead.
The e mail you might see says something about a robot detecting abnormal activity from your
IP address when your sending out e mails. It then goes on to say this is probadly happening because of another virus and they offer you a patch to install. The patch with supposedly remove
the virus files and stop any further 'bad' e-mails from going out. They then tell you if you do not
get the patch, your account will be blocked and you won't be able to send any e-mails at all.
Once you install the patch, a Trojan then installs itself into your Windows system under the name
of "windev-72b5-203e.sys." The Trojan virus has also been found under other names, including
Trojan.Packed.13, W32/Nuwar@MM, Worm:Win32/Nuwar.JT and Mal/Dorf-A. Now as you can see,
this scam is perfect, because when most people are told they are infected with a virus, they do whatever they can to get rid of it. That is, despite the fact they may be hurting themselves even more in the end. So the bottom line is, if you see anything pop up in your e-mail, don't do anything with it. Just ignore it, delete it and keep on moving. Stay safe, my friends!
