Yup there are the 419 scammers and then there are the malware drive by infections.

One is the typical, please send me some money begging letter but the other is more dangerous, purporting to be a news item (like above) which asks you to click on a link which exposes you to malware, which can then use your computer to generate more spam or even steal your personal details. Most of you are probably aware of this already but for those who aren't, please be careful.

For a windows machine you need some good anti spyware software to protect you

The best ones are always free like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Superantispyware .
