Attn t00bs:

I've had a report of the following email going to someone with a t00b.net email account:
Dear user of T00b.net,

Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions.

Pay attention on attached file.

Have a good day,
The T00b.net team http://www.t00b.net
This email is not from me; the address etc has been forged. The attachment is almost certainly a virus which will install one of the aforementioned proxy-relay trojan servers on your machine.

One day, there will be a vitus writer who has English as his first language or is fluent in English.
When this happens, our first line of defence against viruses will have been destroyed.
The message you quoted does not contain any spelling mistakes or typos, which is another art of the same safeguard already under threat.
