I received an email supposedly from Paypal this afternoon, and as soon as I clicked on it to send it to spoof@paypal I got a message from my ISP to say that I had a trojan virus. I then deleted it, and got the virus message again, and another time when I deleted it from my deleted file.
I just went it and deleted the spoof message with headers, and yet again the virus came up.
Just warning everyone, it was saying that my Paypal account was suspended. I have no idea how you can delete it without getting the virus. Maybe someone can let me know so I know what to do next time.

amber - you have to run an anti-virus scan on your computer to isolate and delete the virus. Getting rid of the email is not enough.

neglus:I have an internet security service, that's how I found out about it, and they isolated it each time. I also ran a virus scan after they did that, and it was clear. I just wanted to warn people about it.
