It did download the file and double click to open it. It did not open anything and maybe install an EXE.

I have a few questions:

1.     Anyone knows if Sophos can find the EXE and remove it?

2.     What the EXE is trying to do? 

3.     I did run the Sophos software on my laptop and it did not discover anything!!

4.     I also run: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware , Spybot - Search & Destroy , Windows Defender , none of these product found anything?

5.     Am I safe? is my pc really clean?

Thanks

  • We have had 3 users get this e-mail last night and this morning.

    Two of them even clicked the links (:manmad:)

    Did they really think that a Canadian postal service was going to be delivering them a parcel in the UK for F***sake where do we find these users from :mansad:

    I have submitted it to is-spam@lab.sophos.com

    Hopefully the sophos appliance will start catching it soon!

  • Hello udiar14, could you confirm if you have on-access scanning enabled? If not i would recommend a full system (inc scan of the affected system at the very least. IanRMartin thank you for your submission, it should be processed and in place shortly I would expect, if you see it still popping up please let us know. Thank you for the heads up though all.
