Security AlertPosted
on: Sunday, March 2, 2003
If you have had a message like the following please do not open it.
The message claims to be from us and contains a virus. It has NOT been sent by us. We take extreme care with our email. All our email is scanned locally on each workstation, then at the point it leaves our local network it is scanned again by our mail gateway and it is scanned by our mail servers for a third and final time before it reaches you. Each stage of the virus checking is done using a diferent manufacturers antivirus system.
The virus that the message contains changes the 'from' address of the message. The From address is randomly chosen from email addresses that the worm finds on the infected computer.
If you would like more information about this virus and ways to check for it on your computer please click here.
>>A sample of the message follows:
Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.
Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.
We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.
You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.
If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.
If you have any question,please mail to me.
