I was able to look on google and find it to be a "trojan" . None of my anti-virus or spyware checks picked up on it.ileshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012405360834744989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35783026.post-34112717387130083582007-11-17T18:08:00.000-08:002007-11-17T18:08:00.000-08:00The state agency I work for is seeing these also. ...The state agency I work for is seeing these also. We started receiving them this morning (9:19AM EST on 11/17), but they suddenly stopped coming in around 11:53AM. In that span we received approximately 100 infected attachments.<BR/><BR/>This isn't the first malicious .scr attachment I've seen not get picked up by AV. On 11/15 we rec'd an attachment named "complaint.zip". Inside that was "complain.scr", about 223K in size. The email delivering it was supposedly from the Better Business Bureau, had a partial match on our agency name in the text, so it appeared targeted at us. Fortunately the name it was addressed to was obviously phony, so the recipient knew enough to alert us to it. This complain.scr scanned cleanly, too.EJEvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090599071527307930noreply@blogger.com
