Okey-dokey people.
Earlier this week, I received an e-mail from my cousin. It was one of those "Please Forward!" e-mails and I assumed it was just going to be another chain-letter. I opened it up, and sure enough it was a chain-letter. It was about a virus that was apparantly going around and that if you received an e-mail from a certain address to not open it because it contains a virus that will hack into your computer. Sadly I deleted it because I didn't think it was true.
Today, I got an e-mail from the Windows Live Team called "Windows Live Warning!!!". I'm quite hesitant about opening this e-mail. The chain-letter said that the virus may come as a disguise as something from the Microsoft or Windows Team called "Routine Check-Up" or something like that. I thought the whole thing was just another way of scaring people into passing the e-mail on, but now that I've got this e-mail I'm not so sure... the only time I've ever had e-mails from the Windows Live Team is for special offers that I usually ignore. Plus, the Windows Live title in the subject has a little TM mark at the top, which I've never seen before.
So what do you think? Do you think this is actually true? Or is this just another hoax?
EDIT:
I just googled "Windows Live Team - Warning" and it seems other people have gotten this strange e-mail too... but my connection is running so slow at the moment that the pages aren't loading up for me.
