Back in September I wrote about a virus disguised as an email attachment from the New York State police. Well, a variant is out again! This one is supposedly from American Airlines and has your ticket information attached – again, don’t open that attachment because it is a virus! Beware of these attempts to infect your computer! The intent is to infect your computer and eventually steal your personal information.

Beware! Another Mail Attachment Virus!
Friday, January 13th, 2012Open Cloud AV – just wrong…
Tuesday, October 4th, 2011Have removed the Open Cloud AV from four computers in the last few days! It’s a nasty rogue infection. Be careful when clicking on links on websites. Infected websites can infect your PC!
No, Don’t Open That Attachment!

So you’ve received an email like this one. You weren’t in New York and you couldn’t have received a ticket. So all you have to do is click on the attachment and contest the ticket – not so fast!
That attachment is a virus! Be very careful when opening any attachments in your email. If you’re not expecting an attachment, don’t open it!
This type of email has become a favorite tool for hackers who are trying to infect your computer and eventually steal your personal info.
Beware!
