Forum:Junk Mail

Hi, I am on the wiki-1 mailing list and last night I got an email reading: "Dear user of wikia.com, We have detected that your account has been used to send a large amount of junk e-mail messages during the recent week.Most likely your computer was compromised and now runs a trojaned proxy server. We recommend you to follow the instruction in order to keep your computer safe. Best regards,The wikia.com support team." There is a added zipped file included but I can't open it. I use hotmail as my email and when I try to open the attatched files a pop up window appears reading: "The file wiki.com.zip is infected with an unknown virus. It cannot be cleaned." What should I do? I cant find a good link to report this. — Mary ( talk ) 17:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That kinda' sounds like a scam e-mail. I think it's a fake, and whatever you do not want on your computer is in that .zip file.  --TarrVetus 20:41, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok I think your right... because if it was a real one I probably would have gotten another email by now, or some staff would have contacted me. Thanks for the advice!! — Mary ( talk ) 23:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
