    FYI CryptoWall Version 4.0 Released Hopefully you all are aware by now, from our previous mailings, about the nasty malware called CryptoWall. If not, see the bottom of this email for a quick explanation. We also wanted to make you all aware that a new variant of CryptoWall has been released, CryptoWall 4.0. Most commonly, we've seen the method of delivery as a zip file email attachment. The email attachment will be named something generic like ""resume"", ""invoice"" or ""payment"". By double clicking on the email attachment, your computer is infected with CryptoWall. If you receive a ZIP file attachment, even if it is from someone you know, do not double click on the attachment unless were expecting the ZIP file attachment and/or know exactly what it is. When in doubt, we recommend checking with the person that sent you the email to make sure the attachment is genuine. Bottom line, BE VERY CAREFUL WITH ZIP FILES! @Sage100Routine
