Just got this in an email today.
Dunno if it's a good deal or not as I've not been looking to replace my Quest despite it's 'character'but thought it might be of interest.

The spoof Touratch link tries to run a script but was picked up as a dodgy site by Firefox & redirected me to google

The sender is [email protected]
I never noticed it wasn't genuine. Just shows how easily you can be fooled.

But their previous emails have come from [email protected] (a Swedish website) and also link to billysastard.com, so they're not exactly making it easy to work out if what's legit and what isn't.
Zumo 500's are available for £250, 550's for £330 as whitebox units with warranty. A 400 for £250 is steep these days.
I just bought my 550 for £330 shipped.

Just tried the link on my Touratech email and it goes to Touratech, just as it should. As noted though, a 400 for £250 is not a particularly good deal for a not particularly good satnav.
But then has anyone ever found ANYTHING that was a good deal on the Touratech site. I only ever use them for bits that I can't get elsewhere.

The link from the email is working now, but then again I've updated my AV and rebooted twice, and I'm currently running the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool etc. etc.
I called Touratech and they have no idea about the problem (or so they say).
I currently suspect that this is either browser hijacking or a DNS redirection attack. But, strangely enough, my ADSL router died in a strange way last night (The Internet light went orange, whereas it is usually just solid green, flashing green or off)
BM001 - do you have a Linksys/Cisco router?

OK, it probably wasn't someone doing dodgy things with the router.
Have you run a virus scan with an up-to-date virus database? If it was a browser hijack that redirected off to the rogue site, it may happen again.

Yes a couple of days ago, all clear.
Are you saying you think there's a problem on my machine?
My Mrs's email account (Yahoo) has started sending out rogue emails recently, do you think it could be related?
If your machine goes to a different webpage than you intended, it could be something dodgy with the machine, or something wrong with the information it has been given, in this case, someone poisoning the internet addressing system so that requests for www.meint.se are sent to a fake website.
TBH, I don't think that there are many people that would write a trojan to target tossers, but it would be worth hijacking requests to Touratech's server, so I think it was probably the latter. However, it pays to keep an open mind and to maintain good housekeeping.
Regarding your wife's yahoo account, I suggest that you change the username and password from a known clean PC and then have a thorough sweep for viruses and malicious software. It does sound like she has a trojan, unless she has been tricked into 'resetting her password' by a rogue email.
