  3. I have had this email so many times is there a good spam software for outlook that will stop these?

    I had this show up from a drive-by download on an innocuous website, not from an email.

  7. This one is very common, from far east, look out

  8. This has been hitting our corporate network but it is easier to spam this one out

      how to filter these type of emails?

      • mxlab says:

        Being a bit commercial now but you can use MX Lab – for more information http://www.mxlab.eu/ – with the zero hour anti virus technology.

        Get a good anti virus software package with very fast new virus detection rates and also important virus definitions updates. If your current anti virus software does not intercept the trojan then you could try an anti virus product from a different vendor. But unfourtunatly, in some cases, it won’t help as we often notice when sending virus samples to Virus Total.

        You can of course filter on subject, spoofed address or the names of the attachments. Very simple and very effective until a new email format comes out with different subjects or attachment names.

        More important, it will not cost you anything, if you receive a suspicious looking email with attachments, wether it’s a zip file, html file or anything else, do not open it. It’s that simple to avoid virus infections.
