CNN.com Virus Spam
August 14, 2008 – 6:02 amA new email campaign was launched by spammers last week. Reports say already in this short time over 250 million spam emails have been sent out. It arrives with the indication that CNN.com is sending out “CNN Alerts” and that it is providing a “Daily Top 10″. It looks quite real. This is a fake and if a receiver clicks on the story, which looks like it is taking the user the real cnn.com site, this email link actually sends the user to an overseas site that is fake. When on the fake site, the spammers attempt to get the user to download a viewer plug in for their computer so they can see the story. If the user clicks and agrees to this plug in viewer, it then downloads malicious software that takes over the user’s computer , allowing it to then be used and controlled by the spammers to send out more spam emails across the Internet. If you received this type of email and then clicked on it thinking it was real and now find your computer running slow or showing a large number of pop-ups, you can contact iNeedTech.com at 1-800-238-1553 anytime 24/7 to get help from USA based Techs in removing this spam virus.
