<p>There's a bad spam / malware (bad software) attack going on lately on the
internet - if you ever get an email from what appears to be a company or
organization that encourages you to download software, do not do it.</p>
<p>Follow this link to F-Secure.com (these are the people who write Shaw Secure for Canadian subscribers of Shaw).</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001625.html">http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001625.html</a></p>
<blockquote>
&quot;The type of spam runs we saw late last year (Obama and BofA) are starting to pick up again in volume. We've seen Classmates being used as a theme and two days ago it was fake Facebook messages. Today it's back to fake Bank of America certificates.&quot;</blockquote>
<p>Note  the level of trickery the bad guys are going to - that graphic image looks quite convincing. Imagine your less technical friends and relatives - how would they treat the message? Help them learn what to do.</p>
<p>When in doubt, chuck it out.</p>
