Download on demand

Post by David Cobb »

I've started getting emails that quickly show a "download on demand" pop up, sometimes for Vietnamese text, Thai text, etc.
Never got this junk before.
Most everyone knows not to open attachments, so is this a new way for malicious script to infect your PC, with a corrupted "download on demand" thingy or am I just paranoid?
My NAV ' 04 doesn't alert that anything is up, BTW.

What program do you use to read your e-mail?

Do you have current virus definition for NAV 04?

Hi Will, I'm using Outlook Express Image and regularly updated NAV '04.
I delete the d.o.d box as soon as it appears.
