Tagged Email Scam: Another Email Spam or A New Virus?
What do we know about the Tagged Email Scam? Are the Tagged.com messages you receive from friends an email scam or virus? If you have received an email with a subject line “you’ve been tagged!” from tagged.com, don’t give open it. This is the Tagged Email Scam. It has a virus-like behavior which asks for your email address and then will tell you to send the same tag you received to all your contacts. It’s viral or virus-like in behavior. If we may add, it’s terribly annoying. Unsolicited messages from websites like tagged.com are by nature suspicious because they are possibly phishing information via your email accounts.

Received the Worldpay Card Transaction Confirmation Scam/Virus in Microsoft Outlook
I opened Microsoft Outlook this morning to find out that Worldpay Card Transaction Confirmation Scam/Virus has already gotten through. It’s been there for days but it was only today that I got the chance to open it. Microsoft Outlook automatically downloads emails from my servers so I really cannot notice immediately what emails are downloaded.

Beware of Email Scams on the Internet
I was really astonished to know that email scams on the internet constitute 90% of the total emails sent daily, Cisco reported.

Facebook Virus: Facebook Users Under Attack By a Vicious Virus/Worm
Vicious Facebook Virus on the Loose! Are you a Facebook user? If yes, then beware of the vicious Facebook virus that attacks users relentlessly by disguising itself as an “invitation” to Facebook users to click on links leading to a Youtube-like website. Sounds like the “Invitation Virus“, doesn’t it?
On a personal note, this is expected because even in other social networks like Friendster and Myspace, malicious viruses and spams have been reported to attack unsuspecting users. I’m not just sure if the new social network Ziggs will encounter the same fate at the hands of spammers and malware creators. Maybe in the near future. 
Olympic Torch Virus aka Invitation Virus
How true that there is an email virus going around the internet that has a subject line called “INVITATION”?. I got this info from my mailbox saying that “Do not open any message with an attached file called ‘Invitation’ regardless of who sent it, It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer.” Categorically, the alleged virus is fit to be named “Olympic Torch Virus”.
