This message containing a zip attachment is another virus, of the same variety of the ‘Conflicker.B infection alert‘ emails earlier this week.
My virus scanner shows its version 483 of the same virus.
Sincerely,

Here is a sample of the latest phishing scam we’ve seen reported. Once again, we will never email you asking for your password. It features the usual bad grammar, this one uses a link to a web site that asks for your username & password. This one is being tagged by our Spam filter, but some people have the spam filter disabled.
These types of messages should be deleted on sight. If you’ve given them your password, change it immediately using the ‘Account’ button at the top of our web page.
Sincerely,
Kirk Ismay
