One of my clients just received the following email, I suspect this to be a scam. Could someone please confirm? Dear president@domain.com, Your webhosting account has been transmitting viruses to our servers and will be deactivated permanently if not resolved. You are urgently required to sanitize your webhosting account with Norton FTP Scanner; otherwise, your access to webhosting services will be deactivated Click here now to scan and sanitize your webhosting account Note that failure to sanitize your webhosting account immediately will lead to permanent deactivation without warning. We are very sorry for the inconveniences this might have caused you and we assure you that everything will return to normal as soon as you have sanitized your webhosting account. cPanel Admin

  You can search google for the subject of that email and find multiple instances of it going around. One of the results you'll find is this one: Problem with your webhosting account email - cPanel Forums Ignore the email and do not click any links in it. If in doubt, please contact your Hosting Provider directly. Thanks
