The file you downloaded is a computer virus. Your antivirus should have blocked the download. Delete the file from your computer and change all your passwords. Uh...I know it's been a while ;) but this is not a good blog post title! The current topic of discussion is what to do if you got an email telling you to click on w7lxe.exe activation. zip to download some software. If you didn't see any attachment then this is probably a phishing scam. You should check that the email came from who you think it did (google the domain name, look for email addresses of people at that domain etc.). If it is indeed genuine then I'm sorry but there's not much you can do except report it to the company concerned (but check first if they actually use Outlook or if their IT guys are competent). You need to be careful with attachments. Never open an attachment you weren't expecting (if you haven't agreed with your boss to get software installed on your computer then don't click on attachments!). If you did agree to get software installed on your computer then ask your boss to bring it with them to their next meeting and show them which file and where it came from and why you clicked on it. If they totally refuse then I won't be surprised, but you should ask for written permission anyway. If the email looks odd (for example if there's weird language or misspellings or if the name of the company looks like a random string of numbers) then you should certainly ignore such emails (especially if they want you to click on any file, especially if they use attachments). Unfortunately, these guys probably do use Outlook for some reason... or they are just poorly trained. If you are concerned about data leaks or other security problems then you should not ignore the email but ask your boss what's going on. But if this is an important issue then chances are your boss will bring it to your attention anyway. I would urge you to inform all employees of the company that clicking on attachments they were not expecting is not acceptable and that they should tell their manager if they ever receive unsolicited attachments. I would also urge all company IT guys to use Outlook with macros disabled (and use an alternative means to send documents for any employee who still needs to be able to run macros). Title:w7lxe.exe activation. zip More aggressive "scareware" that claims to be your antivirus software. The goal here is generally to scare you into paying for fake protection but if you follow the instructions they generally won't do anything dishonest (just not very useful at all). If you are worried about email attachs please see above. Title:w7lxe.exe activation.zip security warning Somebody might have gotten your email address from one of these sites, or someone has probably already gotten your computer login details by watching you typing at work, or you have clicked on an email attachment before and got a virus which is now sending scam emails. 8eeb4e9f32 49
