This seems really odd to me.

I got the same thing at my keptprivate account..It's the virus..it spoofs the domain name..and sends it from support@hotmail.com .support@huhsmail.com support@keptprivate.com etc...

It's just a little more clever than most viruses. but don't open it.

well well well....guess what, the zip file contains an executable called rstul.exe.

For those who dont know what this is, just delete the email if you see a similar header/sender/etc.

I dont follow the virus sites nor run a virus scanner but I can assure you that ziplip is not distributing important information about protecting your account in an executable format.

BTW - I was able to open this unscathed as my machine is impervious to this type of childish bullshit.....I'm sure some of you figured that out already.

Silly Linux user.

Ive gotten a few similar emails at my KP account. Luckily, Steve at KP is on the ball when it comes to letting users know about possible virus attacks.

If I had the money, my next comp would be a sweet G4 or a lower-end G5.
