Guest guest Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi everyone, Twice in the past two weeks some members have received what appears to be a message posted to the group. The email messages contained links that if clicked on lead to potential viruses or malware. We wanted to issue this warning: if you receive an email message that appears to be a post from a member of the group, has a subject line as (unknown), and contains a link, but with no other text, DO NOT and delete it immediately. These malicious emails are not actually being posted to the group nor are they being sent by the person who it appears from. From our end there is not much we can do to prevent these emails. The same problem is occurring in other groups as well. Please use caution when clicking on links and make sure to update your virus protection and consider using an anti-malware program (like Malwarebytes or IObit Security 360 - both programs are available for free at download.com). Safe computing, Susie, co-moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
