Trojan Horse Alert

Posted on June 29, 2007 by Gary Smith

I received the following email.

Two problems here:

1) I’m not in the habit of receiving a message from my “prayer partner” at work
2) I’ve never heard of this site.

Don’t be fooled by the language sounding like an innocent site or a “gift” of a card.

My virus scanner identified the potential *.exe file that is attached to the above email as a Trojan horse. Something that hides on your computer and can allow someone located elsewhere to access information on your computer and/or destroy information on your computer.

This is the first one that took on a religious theme. Just a reminder, If you don’t recognize the site, erase the email without opening it.
