Jack 1 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) 1st I am at present having no problems. Running ESET SS 7.0.302.0 64-bit Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Got a disturbing email from HP. They say there is a new dangerous virus called Blackmal. And they further say that the only one that effectively protects against this virus is Kaspersky. I take this message with a grain of salt and have done nothing in response to it. However, I would appreciate a response to this message either to me or on the ESET Web site. Do you know about it? Is it a fake message? Do I have any concerns? I can email the message I received form HP if you need to see it.
