Obviously blanked out my email address.[/i]
And you obviously bank with the co-op aswell pete and don't they just get better! Must try to pop in to my local co-op and see if they can sign me up too ...
You're getting a raw deal here pete ... try dumping NOD/ESET and see what happens, you're geting far too many[/i]
Funnily enough I don't bank with the co-op DL, weird that! :)
Suppose I could try switching from ESET (which I generally find very good) but not sure what help that would be? Was the programme not doing its job by detecting this threat and zapping it? I would of thought my ISP should not be allowing virus infected phishing emails through their security for delivery to my account....or am I missing something?
EDIT: Just had another one through (Natwest this time), same format with file hidden in attachment.
Details:
''Warning, ESET Smart Security found the following threats in the message:
SecureMessage.zip - Win32/TrojanDownloader.Small.PRL trojan - deleted
SecureMessage.zip > ZIP > SecureMessage.exe - Win32/TrojanDownloader.Small.PRL trojan - was a part of the deleted object''
Have to say this really isn't very good :(

I'm sure most reading this already know but just in case...
When sending 'spam samples' to Freeola you need to send the offending emails as attachments rather than just forwarding. This is so the email headers are intact and the real senders can be identified.
Oh lovey ... that is so sanctimonious

Thanks for the automated reply Freeola Team and I've received quite a few over the years and so have pete and Hmmm to name but a few, but I've always wanted to know what do you ask "the ISP's of the companies in question about the spam being sent"?
Can any of the 'Team' enlighten us lesser mortals?
We use the Spamcop reporting service. It's not really about asking the ISP to do anything but making sure that they are aware that one or more of their IP addresses are sending spam. If they are a reputable company (and want to make sure they stay off RBL's (Real Time Blocklists) then they will deal with the issue.
Most reputable ISP's nowadays are pretty proactive on their monitoring for Spam anyway, so I'm not sure this is as useful as it used to be. Most Spam seems to be the hit and run kind, (they sign up for accounts and send until they get added to RBL's or the ISP deletes the account or server)
