    Another warning - make sure that you have UP TO DATE antivirus on your PC

    Out of date protection is worse than a chocolate teapot - it lulls you in to a false sense of security.......

    Idea [I] E-mails containing malware

    Reply Quote Report Abuse

    Hi

    Be aware that there are emails being received which contain malware attachments.

    These emails are from Post Express Office and DHL Notification System. They concern packages which have either failed to be delivered or are in the process of being delivered.

    Most junk mail settings will filter these out and they will be deleted. However, I know some will be tempted to open these thinking they have a package arriving. Luckily I realised quickly that they were bogus emails, as I am not awaiting any packages and how would they know my email address anyway.
