- Juno Customer Care virus scam?
- Posted by Edw. Peach on August 30th, 2004
I just got a notice from Juno Customer Care that an email I sent may
have had a virus. I did not open the mail to read the text. The odd
thing about this is that I haven't sent an email out to a Juno address
in about three weeks. I scanned all my out messages for juno
addresses. I have AV (Nortons) that is supposed to scan all my
messages, and my email program also has that feature.
Is this a scam, trying to get me to open up that message?

Can't your unmentioned e-mail client be configured to read in text-only
mode (so no web bugs will work)? If not, does you unmentioned e-mail
client let you save the message to a separate file where you could then
look at it with a text editor, like Notepad, or a hex editor?

Your email address was found on an infected computer's address book (or
a lot of other sources), and sent out email with the header info that it
came from you. In general, pay no attention to the warning; that is, if
your computer is virus-protected and firewalled. A virus scan from safe
mode will allay your concerns.
