Subject: Scam or SPAM ? : a trojan is on your computer!

Dear all,

Is this know to you ?  FIrst time I see this one, but certainly widespread on the net.
It is sent with an Exe Attachment named remove-smss-patch.exe...
Attachment has been blocked, so I will not be able to forward it on request.
Is it a Spam or a try to install some Trojan and Ask for Ransom and run some RAket ?

Thanks for the info.

Regards,

MAx

hi, I am from Austria and you'll don't believe me,
but a trojan horse in on your computer.
I've scanned the network-ports on the internet. (I know, that's illegal) And I have found your pc. Your pc is open on the internet for everybody! Because the smss.exe trojan is running on your system. Check this, open the task manager and try to stop that! You'll see, you can't stop this trojan. When you use win98/me you can't see the trojan!!

On my system was this trojan, too!
And I've found a tool to kill that bad thing.
I hope that I've helped you!

Sorry for my bad english!

greets
