Virus email

I received an email from Microsoft Windows Support saying that they have detected 7 virus on my computer through the network detection they said to call immediately on the phone: 1.855.343.4931 before the start-up or restarting my computer due to apparent data loss that may occur. I searched online and many say that it is a scam I believe them, but what is your opinion

It's a scam: Microsoft can never match your computer for you as a person and have your email address to send you on this subject.  It is a violation of privacy laws.

This con man hope you fall not into the thing and pay for "help".

  • Hotmail, viruses, emails are not sent by me

    receive e-mail messages that are not sent by me as being undeliverable titled "I bet he's OK", "GSP", "73R"

    Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.
    E-mail address of the recipient not found in the recipient e-mail system. Microsoft Exchange will not try to deliver this message to you. Please check the email address and try to resend this message, or provide the text of diagnosis according to your system administrator.

    You can set up a message rule in OE to move all messages (say with the subject "delivery failed" or anything that is the subject of such messages) and then move the message to a junk mail folder.  Then, you can filter the junk e-mail folder to the one you want and then delete them both.  There is not that you can do to block otherwise these messages, the originals are probably generated by infected computers on which you have no control.  The parody of virus (in this case your) e-mail address, it seems that you sent the message, and you can overcome that.

  • SonicWALL Email Security too slippery through virus Hosted.

    We have supported and implemented SW Hosted Email about 2 months ago. Overall we are satisfied with the service, because it takes a huge load on our Exchange Server in the House and our security gateway server.

    Shortly after starting to use the service, we had an email with an attached slip infected through and fortunately was spotted by our gateway e-mail server which we left in place for additional checking our email before moving to Exchange server. Windows 7 gateway server runs ALT - N Security Gateway and also Kaspersky Internet Security running. The infected mail was arrested by Kaspersky, being passed to the Exchange Server. I opened a ticket support and after some back and forth with the support of more than a week, you try to download the infected message they finally concluded that the message was indeed infected.

    Since then, I have had at least a dozen of infected emails more pass thru not detected, but chosen by our Kaspersky Internet Security.

    Our license clearly indicates that we have all services protection antiviruss like Kaspersky, McAfee and Achi. Then I don't understand how these messages/viruses can slip through?

    This worries me and certainly is not pushed my confidence in the capabilities of protection the product hosted Email antiviruss.

    I think that the servers and software at Dell are superior to our simple installation of Windows 7 running Kaspersky Internet Security.

    What can be done to stop viruses and Trojans to get thru?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the comments.

    Almost all anti-virus companies have had problems with the exact things you mentioned.

    You should see a dramatic decrease in what you see in hosted viruses are concerned.

    There was a huge Botnet that was taken down a little more than a week who was mainly responsible for these.

    The problem with these is that each campaign they would send the sum of message control and attachments as well as the encryption used on the attachment in order to hide its contents change with each 3 sends e-mails.

    In most cases the change in attachment occur about every 1 minutes.

    Achi has made some changes to monitor their food and add update definitions that would include new decryption algorithms.

    Because each antivirus provider push us their updates at different times, in many cases attachment and the payload had already changed by the only good signature for messages that have already passed.

    Here's what happens soon.

    Hosted Email Security will become 8.3.0 which has a lot of new features for the fight against spam, and Virus emails.

    Some new features for Kaspersky enabled 8.3 which will help with these as well as messages in URL that can lead to a contaminated site if clicked.

    Once we release 8.3.0 I'll go ahead and post a copy of the release notes for you.

  • WARNING VIRUS OR MALWARE ATTACK MAC

    Today (17/04/16) I received an email from a close friend. The email said «Could not download the entire message click here» Thinking it was a legitimate email from my friend, I clicked on the link. Thus my email from Apple began to pass a message similar to everyone in my Contacts (of hundreds of them). Less than 15 minutes, he began to send a second series of recessed virus emails. I wound up my system and rebooted my Mac. I have to do something else to remove this infection by the virus if she lies still after restarting my MAC?  Apple seeks to any software warning or deviation in the IOS to prevent this happening again? Thank you.

    problem for keyloggers is like when you make changes in the system preferences, you must re-enter your admin password, same case would be the face of the key logger, so to be able to monitor the keys without being active program would need password and sending the data to someone on the net would be too.

  • Inbox Windows Mail files with filesize = 0KB

    I use Windows Mail on Vista Ultimate 64-bit system. After more than a year of use, I noticed in the task manager that the CPU usage was 100% all the time Windows Mail is running. After much research, I found more than 72 000 files in the folders/Inbox whose size is 0 KB. After their removal, I have observed the normal use of the processor. However, the files of 0 KB began to reappear. I download email from POP3 servers. When comes to spam in (and I get a lot of it a server apparently unprotected) Windows Mail puts it first in the Inbox and then I see it is moved to the junk e-mail folder. After receiving the e-mail, I noticed that the number of new files of 0 KB was almost always equal, but sometimes a little less, the number of new junk emails that have been downloaded. So, I guess the 0 KB files are created as spam is available in. However, they are never deleted, unless I do it manually, and they continue to build. Is it possible to prevent them being created in the first place?

    No doubt.  Sounds a lot like an Anti Virus email scanner gone rogue.  You run one?

  • How can I delete an email from apple mail after removing the content (by virus scan software?)

    Recently, I received an avalanche of emails with malicious attachments.  I have not opened any of the accessories, and my antivirus software has picked up malicious content and removed from the email.  Thus, I find myself with an email on my system, no content.  Unfortunately, the system does not allow me to then remove the (s) e-mail that is left.  How can I remove these 'empty' emails in my Inbox mailbox?

    ... my antivirus software has picked up malicious content and removed from the email.

    Allowing something to edit the database of e-mail will result by it becomes corrupted.

    If you use Time Machine, restore the email by "entering Time Machine" of in Mail and choose a time to restore. Then, just delete suspicious e-mails in the usual way. Exit full screen before entering Time Machine.

    You may not use software "anti-virus" not Apple on a Mac, for this reason and many others. Identify the product you use to get the uninstall instructions.

  • My email has been hacked and used to send Spam. I have to perform a virus check, or simply change the password?

    My email has been hacked and used to send Spam. I have to perform a virus check, or simply change the password?

    Do not install or run an anti virus app.

    How do you know that your email has been "hacked"? It is a common practice for spammers to forge an envoy from the e-mail address. It may be that your email address has been misused. There's nothing to do if this is the case for you. The spammer will soon pass and usurp another email address.

    It's a good idea to immediately change your password by email if someone would actually managed to access your e-mail account.

    Not on this basis. It's probably that a person's mail and which actually look like it came from your address. This can be done without having access to your e-mail account.

    If they were sent to the people you know, a person can have in your information, and you should change your passwords.

  • Norton Internet Security can't scan SSL email use. How can I ensure that I don't get a malware or a virus by opening an email in Thunderbird?

    Norton Internet Security can't scan SSL email use. How can I ensure that I don't get a malware or a virus by opening an email in Thunderbird? I read that you don't have to click on a link to get malware, but that some e-mail may trigger the malware just by opening and reading. Any suggestions to prevent the outbreak of malware emails? AOL Desktop software has its own built-in email scanner, but I am trying to get away with their software and to rely only on tuberculosis.

    Thank you

    There are many aspects to this question.

    First of all, by using SSL or TLS to send and receive emails is important because it prevents others from sniffing your login email. Especially if you use a device over wi - fi or on untrusted networks, it is essential, because if others get your email IDs, bad things can happen.

    Of course, by using SSL or TLS with your mail server also protects the content of your email being captured by others, so it's good also.

    Secondly, you are right that there may be threats to security in E-mail other than the attachments, even if attachments are usually the most dangerous. Your antivirus must protect you against bad attachments as to open them, they must be written to disk in a temporary folder, and your AV software jumps into action whenever a new file is added to the disk. You can also hedge your bets by using a two step approach: first save the attachment to disk and only after she survives the real-time AV scanning and then run it in the appropriate application.

    Sometimes the content in the body of the message can trigger a vulnerability in your software e-mail or a plugin. As these known vulnerabilities, Mozilla is updating its software, but there always seems to be new problems discovered and it will never be perfect security. I don't know how useful email Scanner is for this problem.

  • After you have installed the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-virus, I no longer wish to receive email.

    I can send emails, but I can't get everything and they do not get copied to my "sent" folder.
    I have two accounts (using the same installation of Thunderbird and the same IMAP server) and both have the same problem.
    Thunderbird is more sought my for my passwords and after a while I get a message that says only that the connection has expired.
    Before the connection times out, the text that appears on the bottom bar said current mail server features.
    On another thread, someone suggested you connecting to customer account Web screw and remove the message oldest undownloaded Inbox because it might be a problem with the e-mail address that blocks Thunderbird, but all my emails undownloaded were received after that the problem began to occur.

    I recently installed the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, so I suspect that it blocks the incoming connection. I tried to re - install Thunderbird to see if she could circumvent Kasperky or tell me what I need to do so that he could make an exception (or something like that). No luck.

    Kaspersky support services do not seem to be worth anything, so I don't think I'll get any assistance to their end.

    Any help here would be greatly appreciated,

    I don't know how the traffic server scan works, but I don't know what heuristic analysis is. This is the review of the code and dumping something containing code that is normally used to the virus.
