Alert: Important Changes to Microsoft Services

Posted on 19:37 by Unknown

Today I received quite a few malware emails to different email accounts. One group of emails were designed to appear to come from Microsoft with the subject “Important Changes to Microsoft Services”. Attached is a zip file “Microsoft-Services-Agreement.zip”.

The contents of the file is an executable program which is most likely malware. The anti-virus software I use does not currently pick this file as malware. Keep in mind it takes a couple of days for anti-virus software writers to update their software.

You should delete these emails as they  are nearly certainly malware.
