Virus Warning

[Guest guest]

Hi to All

 

I only send out these messages when there is a serious risk around.

Currently we are receiving inordinate numbers of messages infected with

WORM_KLEZ.G & variants. This infection depends on a security loophole in

Microsoft Outlook & Outlook Express to spread. The messages arrive without

attachment, with a wide variety of subjects and will, if unopposed, infect

your system if you do no more than highlight them in your message window.

 

Once infestation occurs, the worm will send itself, using its own built-in

email program, to every address in your address book. It will also do things

to your system on certain dates, such as deleting files which may make your

computer unworkable, and destroy some of your valuable data.

 

This worm is devious, insofar as it purports to come from someone other than

the sender - it takes an address at random from the address book on the

sender's computer and uses that address as its address. A large number

of these messages have been sent out by a computer someplace in the

Carolinas, with the address of webmaster

 

Fortunately, prevention is relatively simple. Most anti-virus programs can

detect this worm and isolate it before it gets to your system, and if you

have the latest security patches from Microsoft installed on your system

then the worm is unable to penetrate in any case. For information about this

please contact either Microsoft or one of the Anti-Virus software vendors,

and not me, and NOT this list!

 

As always, be on your guard. I've even seen variants of this worm posing as

Microsoft Security Updates and also as a cure for the worm itself! Keep your

anti-virus software updated at all times.

 

This list is safe. Attachments are stripped from all messages by , who

also scan for any known viruses before onward transmission.

 

Sat Nam!
