Most who read these groups are quick enough to spot an email scam. I'm just
passing this on just in case you know someone who might be trusting enough
to fall for it.
email appears to be from Midwest Airlines until you notice the spoofed
address in the header .... it says your credit card has been charged and a
zip file is attached called eticket.zip
anyway just to be on the safe side I had a look at my credit card balance
online ... no unusual activity. I called MidWest and they ask me to forward
the message to them.
So heads up!
Jim

No offense, but if I made a post here every time I receive a spam email
pretending to be something else and with an attached file (zip, exe or
whatever), these posts would outnumber the other posts here 10:1.

You might successfully drown out certain members' "blog" style posts at
that point ;)
FWIW, it doesn't sound like a scam, but rather an old virus in new
clothes making the rounds.
Ok, everyone repeat after me: Do not execute code that comes from
strangers. Remember when your parents told you as a kid not to take
candy from strangers ...? Same thing. :)

That would mean you can't execute *anything* in your computer.
(Or are you telling me you personally know the people who have made
the software you use?)

In much the same way as it is perfectly acceptable to purchase candy
from a store because there is an illusion of trust. :)

well sheesh .... i'll just keep my mouth shut. thought i was just doing the
group a favor with a little heads up. I to have seen just about (of course
not all) the stuff going around. This just looked different enough to
mention. Like I said we're all pretty savy in here .... just thought perhaps
passing it along to our not so savy friends was worth the bandwidth ....
obviously not
Cheers

You mean like Power Anti-Virus 2009?
Nothing like a newer harder to remove version of Vundo.
Maybe the war in Georgia will kill one of those hackers,
you can always hope.
