support@microsoft.com emails
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: uh...ok
Has anyone else been getting those lately? For the past several weeks I've been getting lots of them that come attached with some .pi file or another. Most of them say "Your details" and then the attached file is your_details.pi. Worse yet, the past two have been "Approved" and "Cool Screensaver".
And it's actually the real address, not the name of the From (as most email programs usually show the name and not the real address), that's "support@microsoft.com".
They're being hacked? Or did someone just find a cool way to mask the sender address?

Check the email headers ... copy them and paste them here... usually it tells you which server the email was sent from, or sometimes which IP address sent it... it should look like this:

There's a virus going around that emails itself as if from MS.

There is a lesson to be learned here somewhere

One of these showed up in my box the other day. I had left OE open and I clicked onto it about 5 secs before it checked the mail again and ;poof; one poped up. I quickly deleted it and stood tall in victory.

Eh? A lesson? What's that? 
Regardless, I still have OTS Forums page bookmarked and there's where I go.
EDIT: Whoa, is it just me or is www.opentechsupport.net bouncing everyone to www.opentechsupport.net/forums ?

They are in the process of site maintenance. So everyone is being send to the forum instead of the home page.
