Dear user supersparky@novoserve.no-ip.biz, administration of novoserve.no-ip.biz would like to inform you that:

Your account was used to send a large amount of unsolicited commercial email messages during this week.
Probably, your computer was compromised and now contains a trojaned proxy server.

Sincerely yours,

its a virus mail

its a common social enginnering trick to try to get you to open executable attachments (which as you can see norton identified as a virus and stripped out) by appearing to be a threat from your internet provider

theese are VERY common

you were lucky the fact that you use mail at your own (sub)domain made the mail into nonsense and you had a virus scanner to strip the harmfull attachment

SS thats the exact email i got first, from me(cept it had the-kid.org instead of novoserve.) The next two i got were the form of returned email. i.e you tried to send an email that didnt go through to x domain the message is returned see message.zip
all 3 contained mydoom and were promptly killed. Glad to know i am not the only sufferer. Had a thought that its a trawling bot sending to email addies on hosted domains the-kid, novoserve et al. (plus the-kid.org has a link to novo somewhere on it). I was like wtf, who is admin for the-kid, thought it was me. lol stupid feckin virus writers, they could use their skills for so much good coz they are decent programmers kwim.
