Malware

You can get a free anti-malware program from Malwarebytes.com. They also offer a pay-for program with additional services.

Microsoft also offers a free version and a pay-for version of their Microsoft Security Essentials, available via the main MS website.

This has been going around since at least August. The payload is apparently a keylogger which can intercept bank login details.

You can detect and eradicate it with this : http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Probably a good idea to advise those in your address book to do the same.

Since you were kind enough to provide a link to this malware. Could you please email admin and have it removed, before it starts spreading through CR4.

I eviscerated the link.

Cool

I thought that posting the link with: htxx instead http would do the trick. Can you explain how can the link work without a right wording? Or are you doing what I, sometimes, do: read selectively, and misunderstand the phrase?

I didn't see the htxx, just noticed that it was highlighted in blue, which made it look like a viable link. If I had clicked on it, my browser would have looked for the closest matches, which would have brought me to the malware site. So, even with the misspelling, I would have been only 2 clicks away from picking up the malware itself.

We all hate getting that crap on our computers, I figured better safe than sorry.

I certainly wasn't thinking it was intentional on your part.

Getting it off, I think, was a far better option than having someone coming back and screaming at you because they inadvertently picked it up.

a responceble computer owner do have a ,,live,, anti mailwere program whoo stopp mailwere and viruses as soon as the computer catches them.

I wonder if everyone uses them? It didn't stop malware from infecting the OP's computer. CR4 has a spell check feature, I don't think it's being utilized to it's full potential.

Just move to ''Spam'' folder by declaring it "Spam"

mark the mail [ ] and click Spam button.

The email with that only line:

xxxx://rapidshare.xxx/xxxx...

comes from New Delhy India. A company called BHARTY AIRTEL LTD. from a nameserver: 122.175.136.140

Probably, some month ago when I have open a fake message from FedEx, it has copied all my addresses from yahoo.com and mails, from time to time, to these addresses, that stupid line.
