    Submit the file to ESET labs for investigation:

    http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN141&ref=wsf

    This was a fairly well-known botnet that ran from 2006-2011 so ESET is more than well aware of it but new samples are always welcome.

    If you haven't downloaded the file, you're likely not infected, which is why ESET found no infections.

    If there was no binary file attached consider it spam. The Indian domain listed in the email is no longer active so it's impossible to tell what was there.

    See if you can log directly into all your e mail accounts, if you can change passwords. I cannot see how they know your system is infected, they usually just close the email account and set you up a new one.

    Hello,

    The data on the Rustock botnet ranges from several months to several years old now.

    It could be that this notification is based on very old data, such as an IP address that used to be assigned to an different computer several years ago and is now assigned to your computer by your ISP.

    You can contact your ISP's technical support department to ask them about the email if you are still concerned.

    Regards,

    Aryeh Goretsky
