<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Arial;" class="">A series of fake E-Z Pass virus spam emails are going around, that claim you owe money for driving on a toll road. An zip file attached to the spam email contains a javascript file that downloads malware.
The javascript files aren’t for execution by a browser but by Windows Script Host, so Windows machines are vulnerable. If you use Windows + Internet Explorer you will receive a randomly-named .gif file that is actually an .exe file. </div>
