Received an email supposedly from bt, the addy was - secur@btinternet.com...?

Very very sus. Email BT via their main, legit website and ask them for advice. Mark it:

URGENT -- possible fraudulent BT email.

That should get their attention.

Meanwhile, don't open the email attachment. And run a full scan with your anti-virus and anti-spyware PRONTO!

Good luck

my advice is to scan your pc and then goto yahoo or msn and use an online email account you are less likely to get a virus from one these as they scan the email when its sent and delivered i been using yahoo/msn/orangewanadoo. never had an email virus in four years its the way to go i had ntl netgaurd on my pc but changed to avg as its better

emails which request you to run an attached file are ALWAYS viruses - and the grammar and punctuation of the email is fairly appalling to boot. most likely because it was put together by someone in russia or china.

delete it, and never ever run an executable file (exe) contained within an email. Spammers will try anything to get their information to you, this one is probably a mass emailing virus.

If you are ever unsure about the validity or source of an email get rid of it

Report it to BTYAHOO, as I don`t think they would send this type of e-mail. Anyway it might pay to either ring BTYAHOO or e-mail them.

If you have a competent virus & spyware checker on your PC, then I think you`ll find that it is a scam e-mail.

But it`s worth checking with BTYAHOO first (don`t reply to the e-mail address in the e-mail) :-)

There is NO isp that would email you an executable. I checked and that emailaddress is real, but even so it is easy to fake the returnaddress. The email you received is BOGUS.

can u scan it for viruses , or just scan the whole pc and delete the email
