Postal Service "Package Waiting" Scam.... Trojan Dropper Virus.
My Dad told me that he click on an e mail that was supposedly from the USPS and indicated that he had a package waiting for him that was delayed due to an address confirmation issue. The e mail indicated that he download a address label bring it to the USPS for confirmation. Well luckily my Dad realized at the last minute that the e mail was a scam.....he did NOT click to download the label. My question is could his PC still get infected even though he did NOT click on the download, he simply deleted it.
He informed me that he did a full scan twice with a currently updated MSE scan and said it found nothing...
What are your opinions on this?
I would think you must open the download in order to be infected.
Also when I go over to his house what things should I look for in task manager or other areas to check for evidence of the virus?
