I'm posting this thread as a warning for those who don't read their email thoroughly before opening.....!
I have recently experienced a huge intake of spam email, the likes of which I never seen before. My inbox got 114 overnight.
Since all these emails are of almost identical content, it leads me to believe that a major "botnet" has either been newly created, or activated.
This is the sort of thing that had been attributed to be within "Conficker's" agenda, and/or capability. Point being, that a random errant click could put your machine in the mix of just another spam generator.
So, I don't know if this is "Conficker's" "triumphant" return, or a new piece of demon spyware/ remote execution ware, but I do suggest scanning your PCs, and updating all your security software.
Here are samples of the new Email captions
