    FAO...NTL Users

    Just loaded up my email and received the following email from what is meant to be 'ntlworld' admin:



    Anyway, me being slightly fickle i loaded the program up to see if it would help me. Luckily enough, my up to date version of AVG picked this up...



    So there you go! My bit of advice for the day, even ntlworld can be hacked

    ntl have almost certainly not been hacked, it will be a spoofed email address. And what were you thinking opening it!

    ever heard of blat, thats what they prolly use.

    I have been getting these for two weeks, the funniest one I got was a mail telling me one of my own domains webmaster (i.e. me) needed clarification on wether I had a virus and to run that checker.....

    The total lack of knowledge of English always makes me laugh, nearly all these spam emails trying to get passwords / send virus' etc seem to have:

    "pay attention on attached file"

    I get a daily email containing netsky.c@mm which is quite annoying. Almost every day its a different address/attachment/wording.
    Yahoo's web email is a good idea, doesnt let idiots download viruses + outlook is rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe and theres no other decent pop3 mail program (that includes firefox's s/*\e mail thinger).
