Dear All;
There may be a new malicious viral virus malware software bot making the rounds so be aware. The message was received at my business e-mail address.
The message details are:
Attach: Report_January-October.zip (35.5kb)
Subject line: Statement January - October.
The sender: From: "Wiley Dougherty" <laowco@...> Bradley and Associates.
The message will read:
Please check the file added to this message. There is the requested report in it. The details have been successfully changed today.
Glad to help you any time

We have no such client or request but the "Normality" of the message will get people to click on the zip file. Then what happens is a malicious bot or spyware is downloaded and installed either blatantly or hidden behind the zip fil download or through a redirect. You end up with an infected computer.
Don't download files or open zip files from unknown clients where you made no such request and "Wiley" does not clearly identify themselves or their company and does not provide contact info or telephone number. The name bradley and associates is so generic there are some 13,000 listings in google for the search " bradley and associates " which narrows the broad search down.
Also please note a number of McCain and Obama videos have been infected with malware when you go to view them you get an infected computer.
