The AntiVirus server has detected the Phishing.Heuristics.Email.SpoofedDomain virus in an email sent to you, allegedly sent by bounce-876263-22702743@lists-nashville.sonybmgemail.xxx This email address may, or may not, be the originating source, as some viruses can hijack address books and in turn, send email with any of those addresses. Please take note that this virus has been destroyed and this email is a notification of virus activity and is itself virus free.
That message does not seem to be from avast (not the default message).
Maybe it’s from your ISP. Bounce it won’t help, will just reveals the existence of your own email address.
Some (unsolicited and malicious) emails purport to be of bounced emails that you supposedly sent out (you didn’t) they frequently contain an attachment. In the body of the supposed bounced email it says open the attachment to see the details of the bounced email and bingo your infected.
It is a trick just to get you to open an attachment, should one ever get through without this alert and the attachment intact, don’t get curious, just delete it, no questions.
So it looks like this may be from your ISP email server scanning inbound email (before you collect it) for viruses and flagging the email, is also suspicious at it believes the domain may also have been faked.
Thanks for the welcome and sorry about posting that link, I didn’t even think about it. I didn’t open the email I posted about or click on the link, I was able to preview from my inbox. I think I have a virus anyway. My laptop crashed last night and it’s in the shop right now.
Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try DrWeb CureIT! instead.
Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
