I wouldn't worry that much because his actions are very amateurish, but it might work in some cases, so you have to be cautious, for me I always propose to send files to my clients via email attachments for more security so they wouldn't worry. as emails generally have up to date antiviruses. Never open any .exe file ever sent to you from anyone; under any circumstances unless you're sure of what you're doing Title: Re: PcLovec - Virus Spreading Post by: Initscri on August 19, 2018, 04:24:10 AM This person approached me and offered me the same check this: https://i.imgur.com/fjmQWej.png I wouldn't worry that much because his actions are very amateurish, but it might work in some cases, so you have to be cautious, for me I always propose to send files to my clients via email attachments for more security so they wouldn't worry. as emails generally have up to date antiviruses.
