Hi  :)
On November the 16th following spammail was send out in the wild. The security compagny CSIS has stopped a large amount of this fake email. Don't click on this mail. It may cause an Conficker.B Infection.

   Topic: Conflicker.B Infection Alert

   Content:

   Dear Microsoft Customer,

   Starting 12/11/2009 the 'Conficker' worm began infecting Microsoft customers unusually rapidly. Microsoft has been advised by your Internet provider that your network is infected.

   To counteract further spread we advise removing the infection using an antispyware program. We are supplying all effected Windows Users with a free system scan in order to clean any files infected by the virus.

   Please install attached file to start the scan. The process takes under a minute and will prevent your files from being compromised. We appreciate your prompt cooperation.

   Regards,
   Microsoft Windows Agent #2 (Hollis)

The tip-off was that it was sent from Agent #2 ... we all know Number Two was the administrator of the Village in "The Prisoner" ... if it had been real, Agent 99 would have sent it   :hysterical:
