I've received a number of emails over the past week or so containing an attachment purporting to be a password. Of course, I immediately delete tham since I haven't requested a forgotten password from anyone.

Does anybody know what the attachment contains? Spyware, virus, tracking device from the NSA?? Just curious.

It's a mass mailer virus that infects a system and will email all contacts in the list.
