There is a phisher or viral attack which is masquerading as MacDesktops. There is no “Support Team” at MacDesktops; there’s just me. The attachment probably contains a virus or spyware or something nasty. Don’t open it. Email addresses used for announcements are secure and have not been compromised. In fact, the address I received this at isn’t even on the announcement list. I suspect messages similar to this are being sent using other domains as well.

I just want to assure you that the message was NOT sent by MacDesktops. Do NOT open the attachment.
