Virus alert

Postby Cyber Bishop » Fri Jul 20, 2007 10:00 am

Motto: "Ker-Klick... Choom!"
Weapon: Black Magic
We just got this email from our IT dept

Input-Output employees are receiving a large number of email messages referencing an electronic greeting card: You've received a greeting ecard from a School friend! (or something similar) These e-mails contain a virus and must not be opened. Most of these e-mails are being caught by our anti-virus measures and are being quarantined, but some are being delivered to Inboxes.


This virus is new and our vendors are working on this issue. Recipients should not open the attachment and should delete the message immediately. If the message is quarantined, please delete it from your quarantine Inbox.


Just a heads up (Oh if someone has posted this earlier I have not yet had a chance to look for it around here so forgive me.. I am a busy man)
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

The funniest attempt to get me to open a virus was a worm that one of my friends opened. It sent out copies of itself to everyone in his contact list and tried to spoof their addresses as well. Its obvious that its a virus when you receive an email from yourself to the same address in a language you dont even know, in this case Spanish #-o

Not had any of those, most of the spam I get starts with RE:, then a load of jumbled letters and numbers!

Though you would be shocked as to how many people would just open them, I read in a computer magazine I get, that a Anti-Virus company (can't remember which) put an add on Google (Google were in on it too!) that said Have Anti-Virus software? If no, Click here to get a Virus (or something like that), it got thousands of hits!

The add contained no Virus of course, but it just shows how daft some people are.
