Default Warning virus attacks

Hi,

I know this should be in the non carp forum, but I thought more people would
see it here.

checking my e-mail today I found I was swamped with delivery faliure reports
and e-mails from "Microsoft suport". All the above were bogus and had the
Swen 52 virus attached.

Because I had an anti-virus program running I was not effected, but for any
of you that are not protected if you go to:

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hous...start_corp.asp

You can get a free anti-virus computer scan, and if you are unfortunate
enough to have a virus on your hard drive, it will clear it for you.

The top five Threats a

1. WORM_SOBIG.F

2. WORM_SWEN.A

3. WORM_KLEZ.H

4. WORM_NACHI.A

5. HTML_IFRMEXP.GEN

Please be careful. The other thing that you must have is a good firewall
installed.

Go to:

http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...jsp?lid=nav_za

You can download a free firewall.

Good luck and keep your computers safe and clean.

Colin

Hmmmm/

I got the blaster 3.2 recently. The only software to get rid of it is sophos
and it is very very expensive. Beware of these emails. Seems all to
familiar. And you dont need to install it.
