Today I recieved notice from Bushmaster that my parts were enroute...see attached for tracking number! I did not order parts from Bushmaster nor have I ever contacted them for any reason! I've heard of these types of virus, but this one really rose a red flag! Makes me wonder how did they get my email address to contact me concerning a firearm related item? Have any of you ever heard of or gotten something like this?

you could have picked up spyware on any numerous sites. they log what sites you visit and some will classify similarities. IE you frequently outdoors trader, ARFCOM, assaultweb, etc. it may pop back a "Firearms related" info to the spammer.

when I was searching for kegerator parts on numerous sites, I received a similar alcohol related UPS notice.

There are alot of free cleaners out there. My favorites are advanced system care, adaware, and Iobit Security 360.
