Virus Alert

[Guest guest]

W32.Novarg.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm that arrives as an attachment

with the file extension .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip. When a

computer is infected, the worm will set up a backdoor into the system

by opening TCP ports 3127 thru 3198. This can potentially allow an

attacker to connect to the computer and use it as a proxy to gain

access to its network resources. In addition, the backdoor has the

ability to download and execute arbitrary files.

 

I've turned off the ability to attach files to messages in the likely

event of a virus trying to go through to the group. I'll turn this

function back on when the virus has finished with itself.
