If your E-Mail program tries to, or starts to download a file or program, Stop it!. If you need to, turn your computer off, or hit Control, Alt, Delete.

In the past week I have received hundreds of infected E-Mails. They all are basically the same. There is a simple subject line containing anything from “Hi”, to “Here is the EI6 Patch You Need”.
