New Virus Strikes; Protect Your Computer December 31, 2001 / 8:00am PST A new virus has been detected. The virus, named W32.Maldal propagates via windows-based email. If you receive an email where the subject of the email is the same as the attachment name, please delete it immediately. How do I know if I am vulnerable? This mass-mailing worm gathers email addresses from cached web pages and deletes files and software. It arrives in a email message containing the following random information: Body: The body of the message can contain any ONE of the following messages: Test this game body Attachment: %ComputerName%.exe (where Computer Name appears as a userid followed by the computer's operating system. For example: jdoe-w2k). The attachment name should be the same as the subject of the email. The computer name is changed to ZaCker by the virus, but email messages are likely to go out with the existing computer name as the subject line prior to change taking effect. After the name change the subject is ZaCker. If you receive an email with the above attributes please delete the email without opening the attachment. If you do not open the attachment you will not be infected. ------------------ |
