MSNBC Breaking News in mail.

Sponsored Links
I am continuously getting a email. The subject of email is MSNBC Breaking News. When I opened it there are some text and nothing else. Sometime it tells to install some software. I clicked on it. But after that my PC start working slow. My antivirus is showing virus warning. The mail is still coming many times.

Re: MSNBC Breaking News in mail.

Exchanger.NB program is a malicious Trojan horse. It comes as an email attachment without having the appearance of a newsletter called "MSNBC Breaking News". If the user clicks the link, it is directed to a page entitled "Breaking News, Weather, Business, Health, Entertainment, Sports, Politics, Travel, Science, Technology, Local, U.S. & World News - msnbc . com: "simulating a display issue and inviting the user to download a file adobe_flash.exe, supposed to be an update of Adobe Flash Player in order to access the desired content. Do not open this mail. Just delete it.

It is a trojan virus. It is not a safe mail. The other names of virus are TR/Dldr.Exchanger.NB, Win32:Trojan-gen, I-Worm/Nuwar.W, Trojan.Downloader.Exchanger.Gen.2, Trojan.DownLoad.3248,
Win32/Collet.DU, W32/Downldr2.DIGU, Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Exchanger.nb, Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Exchanger.nb, etc

Re: MSNBC Breaking News in mail.

Some of the other similar messages which include virus. If you see any one from below then remove it. The message title is "msnbc.com - Breaking News:" followed by the title of a brief news true or false information completely fanciful but highly touted. Like msnbc.com - BREAKING NEWS: I will be suing you msnbc.com, BREAKING NEWS: Mary-Kate Olsen responsible for Heath Ledger's death, BREAKING NEWS: Elizabeth Taylor found murdered at home, Fredie Mac losses mount, loses billions every month, McCain told lies to win votes, Too much freedom will destroy America, etc.
