Just had four e-mails which may have this, One "apparently" from ntlworld.com team, one from ntlworld.com support team, and on my Zen dial up account one fron zen.co.uk users support and one from DAEMON mail undeliverable.Glad I saw this warning because although ZA Pro quarantined the attachments I scanned them with my AV and it reported them as clean.:shocked:

With the exception of the mail that purported to be undeliverable the other three had this type of message.

" We have detected that your email account has been used to send a large amount of spam during the recent week.
Probably, your computer was compromised and now runs a trojan proxy server.

Please follow instructions in order to keep your computer safe.

Command from Authentium, just as I was posting my AV software auto updated the deffiles so if I receive any more I will check it out. I just deleted the four previous ones, I had no intention of opening them.

btw
I believe that since port 1034 is allocated to "activesync notifications" then anybody not using MS Active Directory should suffer no ill effects from blocking that port by way of extra protection.
