Has “Some Jerk” posted your picture online? No! It’s a virus!

Feb 3, 2010 by     1 Comment     Posted under: Viruses & Malware

This arrived in the Scam Detectives email box this afternoon.

No, nobody has posted our picture online. It’s a ruse to get you to download the Trojan ZBot virus, which is a keylogger designed to harvest your login information for online banking websites.

***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE – MANY ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS WILL NOT PICK THIS UP***

Hey, some jerk has posted your pictures (u understand what kind of pictures are there) and sent a link of them to all ur friends. I have already replied back. Said, that he is an idiot. See the link:

LINK REMOVED

We’ll keep saying it – If you receive an email of this nature DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. Do not click on the link, it WILL infect your PC and many antivirus programs will not pick this up, even if they are fully up to date.

We now have a great range of PC and Home Security products available in the Scam Detectives Security Supplies online store (powered by Amazon).

Scam Detectives is having a facelift

We know that you've found this page in Google, on Facebook or on Twitter, so we've left it here for you to find. However, we're in the middle of a facelift and so not all of the usual Scam Detectives functionality is here just now. Please bear with us, normal service will be resumed shortly...
