I just recieved an email from a friend, thought it was a bit odd as it had an atachment with it that looked strange.
After checking with my mate we decided it was a virus (pretty obvious as they hadnt sent me any mail!)
As you can see iy looks and reads pretty profesional, and included a gif at the bottom sugesting it was from Norton.
Anyway, if you recieve one, check with the sender befor opening!
heres the email!
