I got this message from the "Yahoo team".

Dear user of "Yahoo.com" mailing system,

Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail
content)
outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected
by
a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe,
follow the instructions.

Please, read the attach for further details.

For security purposes the attached file is password protected.
Password is "*****".

Cheers,

There is an attached 'zip file' that I am supposed to download. Is it for real? Or is it probably a virus?

Anyone else notice that the email accounts they use for terb related activities tend to attract more virus and other problems? Is there a terb hacker at play?

I got the same message from a couple different sources and took no chances by simply deleting it. As long as my virus definitions are up to date and computer scanned daily... I'm not willing to take a chance on a potential virus infection.
 
If the file is a text file, which they infer, there should be no reason for it to be a zip file as it could not be that long for a description on what to do next or how to delete the virus.

I agree, it is a virus, eliminate it immediately.
 
Definitely a virus

No tech support organization would ever, EVER send you a file with instructions on removing a virus. Delete it and then make sure to update your virus signatures and scan your computer.
 
Thanks for the help. It's deleted.

Linux is the best way to be virus free and secure.
Been using Linux for over four years now and never had any virus/malware/spyware issues....
