As you can see, the sender directs recipients to “download” the attachment using Internet Explorer, in hopes that they’ll do what they’re told and thus cause a massive computer infection that gives them access to sensitive information stored on the machine. If you receive this message, be sure to delete it immediately, as it isn’t a legitimate Email being sent from Myspace or Intuit.
I hope that this post helped you avoid a computer infection and ask that you kindly share this with your friends and family so that they don’t fall for this ploy.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
