HOAX EMAIL FROM CABELA'S
 
I want to warn everybody about a dangerous email. It looks like it comes from Cabela's , but it's a trojan named "vondu".
The email asks you to sign up to be a product tester for hunting and fishing equipment.
I fell for it(I'm an idiot)bc it did not ask for any personal info, but it placed a trojan on my computer after I "signed up". Fortuenately I became suspicious and ran a Norton scan and there it was.
Watch out for this email guys. I don't know what it could do if left on your computer, but I didn't want to find out.

This will remove the trogan if your virus software will not...

Archer becareful it still could be on your computer as norton seems to not find it everywhere.
Tonight I will send you a tool that specifically looks for vundo if you like?
My sister n law got it and she waited so long that it got really messed up.
Even the adware and spyware software couldnt fix it.

I am actually a Cabelas Footwear product tester. Over the years I've gotten close to 10 free pairs of boots. I'll watch for the email, thanks for the heads up.
