No email attachment (even I'm that savvy) simply opening the email to read it activated the Trojan hidden within my system and was immediately flagged up by my defensive measures and quarantined. The problem being even after removing it the bugger would reappear again.
What I needed was someone with the tools to be able to get rid of it for good/complete and permanent removal.
The email message was a joy to read and went along the lines of something like "You have been a terrible individual and all the porn sites you have visited will be sent to everyone in your email address book blah blah blah......"
"Even if you havn't visited any we will create them and make them look like you have"
"This is not personal, you are only one of many in this situation" Oh really!
"We are are reasonable people and will accept a payment of only 500 bit coins to account number **************************************within 48 hours"
I must admit I looked at the bit coin exchange rate out of sheer curiosity and the figure amounts to 500 x £6177 = £3,088,500
All sorted now though
