Hi friend:
i would like to introduce a good company who trades mainly in electornic
products.Now the company is under sales promotion,all the products are sold
nearly at its cost.They provide the best service to customers,they provide
you with original products of good quality,and what is more,the priceis a
surprising happiness to you!It is realy agoodchance for shopping.just grasp
the opportunity,Now or never!
The web address: www.gvccn.com
you can have a look ,it's very nice!
I have searched and found others who have reported similar but have not seem
anyone answering with anything definative about what this is, how it happened
etc.
I have run scans of my PC and it comes up clean each time, anyone know
anything about this? I am assuming that it is a Worm.
I would like to know if there are others out there having the same problem
at the moment and whether there is a link to a web page I joined called
me2everyone.com.
Maybe it is a coincidence, but would be interested in seeing if others are
having the same issues.
I joined this web page and sent an invite to most of my friends, the next
day I had 24 postmaster @delivery.....failure to send emails in my in box, a
lot of them were to addresses that were not even in my contacts list.
When my friends checked there emails, they had the original invitation
letter from me2everyone and then there was another email with "a good
webiste" which directed them to an electronics-brand.com website.
When I next went to send an email from my hotmail account, my entire address
book had disappeared.
Luckily by retrieving some of the postmaster failed emails I was able to
copy and paste most of my contacts details into a word document for
retrieving later.
I have changed my password and secret question and this seems to have worked
thus far, but I would really like to find out where the source of this came
from.
We have run a complete virus scan and nothing showed up, also checked a
couple of forums and found others who had similar problems and ran malaware
with no results.
After I did my scan I had no history from the previous week, so if you are
having the same problems, save your history and your hotmail contact list
then change your password and secret question, but maybe we can get to the
source of this.
Cheers
Dee
