100000000000% spam. If Qtel want to check virus to upgrade their system, they can do easily with their Admin password. They can log to your account with admin password. They will never ask your username & pass. Please don't provide this informtion to anyone. One more thing, if you receive any Link or any attachment from unknown person by email don't click the link or open the attachment ever.

no one ask the password, if it is asking by net provider then they should have the admin password, so why should they ask your personal pw?

I strongly believe this is a valid mail. Q-Tel Internet at times becomes really slow. The Data Transfer Rate would be high but the browsing would be slow....and that can be coz of the virus (em forgetting the name of the virus) which affects the router or data transfer node of the service provider.

PS: BUT...you can send your username & password at your own risk only.
