would like ESET to confirm Please

[Jack 1]

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. 

Regards,

Jack Shankle

Jack. Post only the text here from the email.
Leave out your personal information and email address please.

It doesnt even sound like a legit HP email.

After checking the email, it's 100% bogus.

Hello,

 

Detected as Win32/VB/NEI by ESET... since 2006.  Prior to that, detected heuristically.
