I received this email. I deleted who from because I believe it would then be spam. I thought this may interest some of you.


------------------ helped Europol smash the cybercriminal group behind the Ramnit botnet on February 25, 2015, seizing their servers and closing down their operation.

Botnets are a dangerous form of malware. They can infect unprotected computers and use them to infect others—all while stealing bank passwords, personal files, and more.
To date, the Ramnit botnet has infected over 3.2 million computers.

Rest assured, your PC is secure.
 
Interesting, a guy posted something very similar to this on another board only it was supposedly from Symantic. The text was virtually the same.

The email wasn't spam but I'm not sure that if I left the company name that sent it if It would be considered trying to promote their product in a forum. It's an informational email so I know that It's not copyright infringement.
