New Computer Virus

Jan-26-2004 » Filed Under: Announcements

This is not Stryker related, but I thought I would warn all of you that a new virus is spreading via email. According to the Symantec website:

Security Response is currently investigating a new mass-mailing worm. Initial submissions have been received with file extensions of .exe, .pif, .scr, and .zip. Additional information will be made available as soon as possible.

I've received about 10 infected emails today with various subject lines, including, "Hi", "Hello", "Status" and "Test". If you receive an email with an attachment and don't know the recipient, I would suggest deleting it, then emptying your trash.
