Also known trick is misusing the name of a company like the virus mail MS Update Announcement.
(prHWY.com) October 7, 2012 - texas, Ukraine -- There is an entire industry that develops software to combat viruses, both for Windows and Mac OS X. Known software packages are Avast, AVG, Avira, BitDefender, ClamAV / ClamWin, ESET/NOD32, Kaspersky, McAfee Game Copy Wizard, Microsoft Security Essentials and Symantec / Norton Antivirus. Besides the software packages on PCs or servers running businesses there is a technology to combat viruses, called managed email solutions. This is the mail already on the server of the email provider for viruses and spam. The advantage is that an infected mail is not in the proper system of the user and there is therefore no harm can accomplish.
The e-mails that contain a virus usually try to give the impression that they contain an important message from a known sender that one can trust. Often the apparent sender someone where the person in question in the past has had contact with. This is because the e-mail addresses in the address book are often used for the transmission of such messages. Fake virus messages are called hoaxes.
Also known trick is misusing the name of a company like the virus mail MS Update Announcement. This email looks deceptively real and it is suggested that by exporting the attached program your computer protected against the latest viruses. The sender is not Microsoft, and the attachment is a virus.
Furthermore emails with viruses that give the impression to be from a mail server or ISP also popular. These are messages like "Mail Delivery failure
http://gamecopywizardx.blogspot.com" or "Internet Provider Abuse" or something similar. Some viruses are able to get the emails to match the e-mail address of the recipient, so can someone with such een@yahoo.com-adres an email apparently get the helpdesk Yahoo comes but reality of someone else.
By inserting a false report that the message is virus free try some viruses to increase the chance of infection. However, there are still many "dumb" viruses that are confined to just a "Hi" or "see attached file".
