MySpace Reset Password Request – Bogus!

First, do not open the attachment! It has a virus.

It appears the bad guys are going after the MySpace User community. Looks like another attempt to release a virus into your computer. This innocent looking e-mail is a bomb about to go off if you open the attachment.  I suspect this virus is designed to go after passwords and may have other devious things to do.

From Symantec
Packed.Generic.261 Heuristic Virus
Systems Affected: Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000
Packed.Generic.261 is a heuristic detection for files that may have been obfuscated or encrypted in order to conceal them from antivirus software.

Be very careful not to ever reset your password because of an e-mail
