A More Insidious Virus
Saw this over at SNN
This is not a new virus - it's polymorphic, it can bypass most antivirus email filters and it can clog up corporate mail servers in nothing flat. It's a Hoax. Despite its normally obvious signs such as subject line in capitals, dire warnings of erased hard drives, grandmothers spontaneously combusting and the World ending in a plague of locusts, it is seen as a real and viable threat. To poor, struggling little email servers and inboxes, it is. Even the fact that it originates from a viable antivirus source ie your mate from down the pub, who got it from his mate in the garage who got it from his sister-in-law's grandmother. But it must be true as it normally says "[Insert big antivirus company here] have released a warning..." Treat it like spam and ignore it - don't forward it on to your entire address book, refer it to your IT staff. Your only virus aware action at this point is the delete key.
