I suppose we all have to question anything that looks odd, eh? Thanks.

What can be done is being done, some researchers are fighting the spam botnets, others are reporting it to make users aware. What users can do is update their Windows and software and never click on links they get in email without checking first who sent it and why.

I suspected it was phishing, so I Googled Northwest airlines e-ticket phishing and this site was one of the hits. Since most of the posts are four months old, I wonder what we can be doing right now to shut these crooks down.

Nothing is clear, your PC is infected. Norton is not the most successful security product out there. 2. You can't remove the malware manually, it will reappear again and again. The best solution would be booting from a rescue CD with an anti-virus and scanning entire system drive. Before you do that, try using AVG anti-virus, it might help. 1.

Norton closed the computer immediately. I re-opened & performed various scans. All was clear, apart from a message purporting to be from 'windows' saying my comp. was infected. The message comes-up every 10 seconds or so. Anyone know how I can erase permanently? Unfortunately I opened the attachment thinking it had been sent in error. Norton closed the computer immediately.

Boot from a rescue CD with an anti-virus and scan your hard drive or connect your hard drive via USB using a cable to another clean PC with anti-virus and scan it there. Often cleaning infections might be very hard, since they appear again. Consider taking it to a lab or reinstalling your OS.

Thanks to your warning and explanation I was able to detect and identify a very similar e-mail in my mailbox. This one was sent bij "Midwest Airlines" : Jackie Flanagan Midwest Airlines [wcyfgyy@brandywineabstract.com] supposedly. The search words in Google I used were: Buy airline tickest online, Midwest Airlines; that brought me to your site. Thanks again and I'll spread the word. Keep up the good work! Frans, from Holland.
