Is this spam or junk mail? I did not recognize the sender, but the email contained information that pertained to me. Anyone know what this might?
I received an email in my bulk folder with a link to a you tube video, but the video would not open.?
There was a spam of a fake youtube video sent out yesterday.
Tip: NEVER click on links from people you do not know.
Reply:Run your Anti Virus on a full scan, also scan for SPYWARE.
NEVER EVER EVER click links in emails you don't know the sender of, many contain spoofed links and do NOT take you to the site they claim, but to a site that confirms your email is valid and then passed it to more spammers, and possibly infects you with spyware / trojans.
To check for spyware . . .
I'd reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro www.lavasoftusa.com (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S%26amp;D from www.spybot.org (Again free for home use)
Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.
Reply:My email sometimes does that..First right click the link, click properties. And Make SURE its a youtube URL. If its not, its a virus. If it IS a youtube URL, right click it again, and hit open with new window/tab
