I received the following email [email protected] with an option to click on an icon to get an antivirus downloaded. But before clicking on the antivirus icon, I did a search on the support email and I found information about a different organization with the same email documented so I think this is a scam or hoax. The following is the actual email I received: Dear Customer, I am the representative of the customer support center at Yahoo. We have received 48 complaints about your Email account recently. Email account: ********yahoo.ca Complaints Received from: AOL.com, Verizon.net The account has reportedly been sending malware and viruses. Thousands of spam emails were sent out from your email address in the last 8 days. We require your clarification now to avoid mail account deletion within 12 hours. We recommend installing an antivirus. We will choose the best one for you.
