email message

hi, can anybody help, i recieved an email message "dont miss this check out ***domain name removed****.com, like a fool I did, and filled in my details, can this site be trusted

 

Welcome to MajorGeeks basher!:major

A quick check on the domain name you provided does not look good. You should not open emails from anyone you do not know and most of all, never click the links in them.

My advise to you would be to head over to our Malware Forum and go through the Read & Run Me First to see if your system has been infected or otherwise compromised.

Follow the steps as outlined then start a new thread in the malware forum so you can upload (attach) the logs as requested.

Best of luck!

 

Hey basher123 and welcome :wave
You've come to the right place to ask that question and get it straighten out before there's too much damage if any.(I hope not) Those emails can cause a lot of havoc and destruction on a computer and a person. Listen to Abby as she is top notch here and knows her stuff. Have a look around when you get time. Enjoy!

Welcome to Major Geeks.
And you WILL get straightened out if needed.Hopefully it won't be neccesary

 

hi abbysue, thanks for the reply, im not so worried about the email, as it seems to infect hotmail accounts (have'nt got one), but i am worried that i navigated to the web site and gave personal details, ie email address & created a password

 

Be doing yourself a favor by doing as suggested.

 

Welcome to MG, basher123 :wave You have come to the right place, and you also must learn to never open e-mail from anyone you don't know... Lord only knows what is in them... Do as Abby said, and hopefully they will get it straightened out for ya....

 

Now then Basher :wave welcome to MG, you've come to the right place to get sorted, hope you do, in fact, there's no hope you do ! you just will, cos there's some right clever sods in here to sort your probs out mate !
