The Complaint That's an Attack
This morning, September 9, 2008, I received a threatening email with the Subject Line: I am wait your reply. (This individual does not have a good command of the English language since this should have read "I await your reply" or something like that.)
The body of the email read:
I am tired of receiving messages containing malicious computer programs (viruses) from your e-mail address!!!
If within 1-2 days you do not stop sending messages to my e-mail address, I will have to address this issue to the Police!...
Today I received a hard copy of your data logs from my Internet service provider. The copy contains your IP address, logs of sending malicious programs and your e-mail address details...
I am sending you the copy of the document containing your data and logs of sending malicious programs as the proof of your fault!!!!!!
You must print the document containing the list of your data and logs of sending malicious programs and pass it on to your Internet service provider with, so that they could find out why the viruses are sent from your computer to my e-mail address!!!!
Ask your Internet service provider to resolve this problem!!!!
Do this now!!!
Once again!!! If you don't stop sending the letters, I will address to the Police and file a lawsuit against you!!!
The email contained an IPLOGS.zip attachment, if unzipped, contains an executable. DO NOT run the executable. In fact, delete the entire file and get it off your PC. This is a virus.

These are scam artists attempting to scare you that their complaint is real.
First of all, an ISP would never send you or anyone else an executable file.
If you buy into this scam and open that executable, your computer will get infected. How do you remove this menace? Well, the virus is new so the best thing I can advise is to update your antivirus and antispyware application and scan your computer.
Once I get a solution, I will get it out to you.
