On going virus JS/TrojanDownloader.Nemucod.LP trojan

For months now this spammer keeps sending me an invoice style email with an attachment that contails virus JS/TrojanDownloader.Nemucod.LP trojan. My virus program always deletes it, but my question is why is spamcop not detecting the virus and more so forged sender?

I take it that you have reported the emails? If so, a tracking link might be useful for help us troubleshoot.

As for the forged sender, the "From" header is notoriously unreliable as a clue to the true origin of an offending email. It is been a while since I've run my own email server, but one of the tests for suspicious emails I used for a while was to see if the From address matched the To address, on the assumption that sending an email to myself was unlikely.

When SpamCop first started forwarding email CisCo filtered it with Senderbase filtering for 12 months.

This filtering has now ceased. but still forwards without filtering.

Reporting does shut spammers down.

Add to notes it contains virus attachment.

I forward to Gmail which effectively separates "spam from ham" and tell you if they detect a virus (even when zipped)

Wasn't sure which link you needed, since I posted this I am now getting 2 or 3 a day... Here is a copy to one of the past reports:

As noted in several places, the Report ID, you included, is only visible to you as the reporter.

You should have included the TRACKING URL, that is listed at the top of the screen after the spam has been processed.

Here is your TRACKING URL - it may be saved for future reference:

Thanks for the info, just think it's funny everytime I report it, I get 2 or 3 more, I only used to get 1 a day now I am up to 9 or 10 a day that I am reporting them....

I'm in the same boat as you. I started receiving occasional emails back in late December and it has really picked up in intensity during the month of March. The subject is always something about Package Received, Order Delay, Unpaid Invoice, and the most creative one was something about a traffic camera picking me up in violation. Each email up until today has had an attached zip file. Now they're sending RAR files. I've been reporting these things as fast as they come in but it doesn't seem to help and I share your observation that it seems that the more I report the more I receive. I've also been forwarding this stuff to phishing-report[at]us-cert.gov. I really hope this gets resolved soon. It's frustrating.

Botnets tend to do this as more people create zombie/Botnet computers by opening attachments/clicking links the more they repeat sending the spam to you.

Depending how bad your email provider is, a Windows Program Mailwasher allows you to check for spam and report it

zen.spamhaus.org. is the better blocklist to use Mailwasher just alerts you and you can easily report and delete it from a POP server
