Virgin media virus detection email.

[Mattyjw]

I just received an email from virgin media internet security saying that one of my devices was detected as having a ramnit infection by a non profit they use this seems fishy to me and a method of selling f-secure, I'm at work so cant check anything till I get back should I be concerned?

I'm running sophos home (10) i think and bit defender (7)

cheers

if you have to ask....

You're ISP won't be scanning your PC for viruses, its a phishing email

That was my thought virgin can be dodgy and I can see people falling for it.

So I ran ms mrt, mbam, eset online scanner while it flagged the things I suspected it would (win toolkit) there was no sign of ramnit. I should probably rerun mbam when i get home in safe mode, but apparently there were connection problems throughout the day on friday that could've caused the alert because of sporadic connection drop outs.
