Dear Customer,

Our robot has detected an abnormal activity from your IP adress
on sending e-mails. Probably it is connected with the last epidemic

We recommend you to install this patch to remove worm files

(“this patch” is actually a link:

<a href="http://68.61.229.214/?7703a3b01bdad81d9b848ca9a885b5e6291c3d">this patch</a>
