I save an attachment from an e mail to a flash drive first then scanned before opening this came back ok.
but when I tried to open it a box popped up "file corrupt" and then a Norton box came up "blocked malicious"
I have ran an Norton, power eraser scan, Malwarebytes scan and an Msert scan all have come back clean so am I ok or do I need to do a clean install to be safe?
This morning a get an Action fraud e mail from the police with this in it
Thanks
Fraudsters are sending out a high volume of phishing emails to personal and business email addresses, pretending to come from various email addresses, which have been compromised.
The subject line contains the recipient’s name, and the main body of text is as below:
“Hi, [name]!
[real home address]
I attached the file – [surname].dot . File password is – 2811
The emails include an attachment – a ‘.dot’ file usually titled with the recipient’s name.
This attachment is thought to contain the Banking Trojan Ursniff/Gozi, hidden within an image in the document. The Ursniff Banking Trojan attempts to obtain sensitive data from victims, such as banking credentials and passwords. The data is subsequently used by criminals for monetary gain.
