This is a public service announcement.

Most of you will have already consigned this to the bin, by way of your
AV software. I hope.
But I note there are one or two n00bieZ in the froup so here we go.

Did you recieve an email from the Valuehost billing dept., regarding a
credit card chargeback?
Never heard of Valuehost? Never had anything to do with them?

Panic not, just bin it.

And whatever you do, do not click on the attachment filename="ref
7119606.zip"
It's an exe file that will install a Trojan.

Valuehost is a legitimate hosting company and they have posted
information on their website regarding this bit of nonsense.

I dropped the attachment onto ClamXav to have a look inside.

And now back to our scheduled programmes
