Virus Warning: Email from "stardock"

from WinCustomize Forums
Beware all users....someone is sending an e-mail with the subject line of "A new website" and the return path is [email protected]. Partial header below... It contains the klez virus so beware and do not open the email as it is obviously NOT from stardock...seems someone is running a bot to harvest the emails of the users here maybe?

Return-Path:
Received: from out010.verizon.net (out010pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.133])

Doesn't need someone to run a bot to harvest emails. Klez uses and sends to addresses it finds in address books, also spoofs the address sent from, gets creative with subjects. Very tricky critter.

Please be VERY careful in what you open. If you don't have a good anti-virus program, I strongly suggest that you get one. If you do have one, please make sure that your definitions are up to date.

I have had complaints to [email protected] about viruses. It is not typical of Stardock to send out attachments, unless they are requested by you.

Check the header of questionable email. If the header information doesn't match who it says it's from, just trash the email.
