Today I've gotten 4 odd emails, I know they haven't come from anybody I know(unless somebody is playing a mean prank) and they all ask me to download something. Chances of it being a virus- 98%. Anybody know what I should do? Transcripts of emails follow:
No way in heck I'm opening that.
I sent a fax out to Northeastern University (Faxes are more official I guess) with "Email abuse" on it in big letters. I hope they don't take this stuff lightly. Anyway, it's probably just me getting these, right? I have a grave feeling that somebody doesn't like me, as the messages sound like they were meant to appear technical, but they don't.
