I WAS ATTACKED THIS MORNING

[Frankn]

I got an E-Mail from amazon requesting feedback on some book sales. While posting the feedback one of my security systems posted a notice that they had blocked an attack by:
Risk name-HTTP Fake AV webb page request 1
Att. Comp.-PRE4sys.com{212.124.113.110,80}
Attackers URL-pre4sys.com/stats_is_e.php?id=162635817
Any of you savvy computer guys have any idea what this is?

Did you buy some books from them? As a rule of thumb for me.........any request, e-mail or any other suspicious activity is ignored and noithing sent back to anyone!!!!! I always tell my wife that if you don't know the person or where it came from leave it alone and delete it. Too many crafty people out in this world fishing for your vital info..........period!!

This notice was from my Roxy antivirus software and merelisted the threat. I was wondering if anyone had heard of that address but I guess it is probably fake.

I use Kaspersky and my computer is attacked several times a day. It also flashes a menu that tells you the IP address. The last IP address I tracked was Africa. This is a common place for hackers' and schemers to originate from. My guess is that it's address is spoofed. It is such a common occurance that I don't even pay attention to it anymore. Thanks for good virus protection programs
