Hi all just a heads up,recieved a weird email today from Upstate exotics,don't know why as I have never done business with them.But am nervous because I have read quite a bit of sketchy crap about them to say the least.The email didn't say much,but had their website info, a guy named Sal and IP adress etc...,anyway it had a zip file attached and of course because it was from a reptile co. and I have heard of Upstate,I was an idiot and opened it.Well,there was really nothing inside,so I sent a response to them asking them what the email meant,so I hope they somehow didn't get any important info of mine copied on the win zip(which I do not know if it is possible) but my computer started going haywire(probably a virus,which I hope it is all it was).Luckily I have GO Back so I did it and all seems ok,but I'm still pissed!So just a heads up.
 
Viruses commonly fake the "from" address. So the virus was sent from a computer that either had Upchuck's email addy in their address book or from someone that had viewed their website. That computer user probably doesn't even know their computer is infected. Such is the nature of computer viruses.
 
sounds like a virus

Klez will use email addresses in address book, or from cookies of websites. hope your anti virus is updated and running. should have caught it when you tried to open the zip.
 
Hi Guys,thanks alot for the info,I think you are right about it being a virus,because I just got another one from [email protected].
I think It's time to update my Norton antivirus!LOL!! Boy these people must have alot of time on their hands.Anyway,thanks to all who took their time to help me out,it is much appreciated.
