A variant of the ILOVEYOU email VBScript worm has been once again spotted in UVMers' email. If you receive email with the subject "FWD: joke" -- even from someone you know and trust -- do not try to view the attachment(s). The ugly things that will happen to your computer are detailed at: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-04.html As a reminder, UVM has a site license for McAfee's VirusScan software. The McAfee DAT (virus definition file) for it was released 05/10/2000; check to be sure you're at least at that level. You can pick up VirusScan at UVM's software archive: http://cit.uvm.edu/antivirus/ Users of Outlook and Exchange should have installed the Microsoft updates, listed at the URL below, by now: http://vil.nai.com/villib/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98617 The link above also gives details on prevention and removal. -Dean Williams -- __________________________________________________________________________ Dean Williams Dean.Williams@uvm.edu Assistant Director for Client Services 656-1174 Division of Computing & Information Technology FAX 656-0872
