Good Day,
I have a user who opened an attachment on her computer that, he reports
(this is a home box), launched a button in Spanish saying something to the
effect "do not push the dos button". They had an eyeball icon on the
attachment (they're using Eudora). Three things then happened.
1.) They received a "gray box" message from our computer saying that it
could not access our applications, because it could not find the
"winsvrc.exe" file
2.) An eyeball icon appeared in the bottom righthand corner of the screen
3.) They saw the Spanish language message.
They cannot access their applications. They can still access their web
however. They, however, continue to get the "gray box" message.
I had the user check their attachment directory to see what files were
recently received there and I was told there is a "navidad" file as well as
a file that appears iconographically as a bar-code.
All my searches with anti-virus intelligence sources has not come up with
anything but this email originated in Morocco via France. Has any body
heard of something like this? Or could this be something new or something
isolated that unintendedly had these consequences?
Thank you for your input.
Best Regards,
David Rieger
