The Fake Australia Post email spreading TorrentLocker is on the loose again.

Thank you Craig at Eclipse for issuing this warning:

There have been over 30 fake websites associated with this.
 
Always check the email address and if it looks dodgy (i.e. Australia Post pazarlama@misal.com.tr).

Be especially careful about anything purporting to be a parcel notification or Australia Post (use the phone to call Australia Post and confirm any such email).  Any unexpected email can potentially be a problem.
 
You must always have up-to-date AnitiVirus and AntiMalware programs

If you think you have been infected you can run full scans or simply turn off your PC and have the hard drive scanned remotely by your IT service technician.
 
And always have a backup of your important data.
