I got this today:


Dear user of users.skotos.net,

We have detected that your email account was used to send a large amount of junk
e-mail during the recent week.
Probably, your computer had been compromised and now contains a hidden proxy server.

We recommend that you follow instructions in the attached file in order to keep your
computer safe.

Best wishes,

I'm naturally wary of things that suddenly out of the blue send me files. So was wondering if I could get a comfirmation that this is a system message?

I figured as such :)

I could pick it apart, but I'm lazy, so just gonna delete it.

As Briseis said, it's a virus built on particularly good human engineering.
