Fake Email regarding NETDOOR

Recently there have been emails in circulation with virus attachments, claiming to be legitimate mail. The emails have a section at the bottom stating to be scanned with the NETDOOR AntiVirus Service. At this time we do not scan email for viruses, but we do block/remove specific file types with our anti-spam filtering system.

These emails were NOT sent by NETDOOR, but from another internet user who has the virus. Do not open or save the attachments associated with these emails or your computer may become infected.
