I am not having a good mood

[charliesmum]

I got a spambot email that used a friend's email address - should I be worried about a virus?

This is the text of the email:

Heya,how are you doing recently ? I would like to introduce you a very good company which i knew.Their website is www.lehonest.com .They can offer you all kinds of electronical products which you need like laptops ,gps ,TV LCD,cell phones,ps3,MP3/4,motorcycles etc........Please take some time to have a check ,there must be somethings you 'd like to purchase .
Their contact email: lehonest@188.com . MSN: lehonest@hotmail.com .
Hope you have a good mood in shopping from their company !

Gotta love the Engrish, anyway. And who knew you could count a motorcycle as 'electronical'.

And then, to top it off, for some reason I can't yet figure out my DVR didn't record Castle. It's a little thing, but frustrating.

Day isn't starting off well, and it's 7:34.

Er... DVR didn't record maybe because Castle wasn't on last night? I checked the schedule and if it's on ABC, then it was Monday Night Football. Eagles & Redskins, I think.

Oh...I'm surprised my DVR didn't record an hour of football then!

Are you still home today?

It wouldn't record, because it's set up to record the show, not the time slot. You should be able to look at the 'scheduled' list in the DVR menu to see when Castle will be on again.

As long as you didn't click the link or download any files (hypothetical .jpgs etc) you should be fine.

You should also be able to block the address through your e-mail client as, typically, the address is spoofed and the actual ip is different from your friend's.

However, I do suggest contacting your friend and advising them to check for viruses adware and the like. It never hurts for you to check your own computer too.
