A Zu Fake!!!

I'm pissed!!!:mad:


I opened up my e-mail today and I saw an e-mail from Zephka@zeldauniverse.net

I said, "ok." so I opened it...I clicked the link...and Norton Anti-virus opens up saying I have the new virus!!!!

I have included pictures to prove this is no fake. What can I do!? Why would Zephka do this or did someone else send me it...

I don't know what to do...this virus is supposed to be the worsyet to come...

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

Eh? Sorry DoD, but you're likely to get these messages from me as well. It's spam-bots that roam the net searching for e-mails, and then cloak the virus-mails as being from other senders than they actually are, making them more likely to be opened by the receiver.

I daily get mail from people at GameSpy, IGN and Microsoft - But it really isn't likely that they are actually sending me these, now is it?

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

Probably Zephka got the virus and some how the virus sends itself out to those who are in Zephka's e-mailing list.

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

Heh, my "zumail@mrlafazia.com" has just started getting spam this morning (when I checked it). It's crazy spam, too, with peep's addresses mirroring those from zu...like lioness879 or something. Heh.

ZU must be a magnet for such things, now >_>

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

the mailbag was famous for getting email from Anakin and Zephka that was evident SPAM and was going to kill my computer with one short blow... those I deleted right away...

I hate getting SPAM... its annoying

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

What virus was it? (It may not be that bad, but then again, it might be).

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

I never check my e-mail. You should try that

Actually, I'm being honest, but I would find it weird that it would say that it came from Zephka, must be SpyWare of some sort.

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

Well, I can't say I've received any email from ZU at all. Email that I don't believe belongs in my inbox is trashed as soon as I see the title. I've kept my PC free of viruses and spyware for the past few years, so I do believe I'm doing good.

I'd say, if you aren't expecting an email, don't read it. And if the file is abnormaly large, expect a virus.

Re: A Zu Fake!!!

The only emails I recieve from ZU are the ones that notify me of threads that have been replied to. Of course, I never pay attention to them, and they wont seem to go away, not even when I disable the feature. I can deal with it, it is no big deal. But, any suspicious email I have ever gotten was deleted immediately, I did not even look at th email before deleting it. But, I can not say I have ever gotten a virus from opening such an email...

And by the way, Norton Antivirus IMO does not work very well, it never worked well for me or anyone I know. I suugest getting McAfee VirusScan 7. 8 is not too good from what I have seen, but if you wish to get 8 then I can't stop you. But really, I believe it to be a much better anitivirus client than Norton.
