NAC - Viruses being passed around -- WARNING!!!!

[superba]

Hi All,

More strains of the LoveGate virus are floating around again;  what else is
new?  Open no attachments until you isolate them and scan them with an up to
date virus scanner.  The attachments have various names like "warez.exe,
worker.zip, worker.doc.com", etc.  If you have a way, you can also block TCP
on port 10168 which puts a crimp in their plans temporarily.  That's handy
even if you have a mickey mouse router.

BTW, a government worker, Sam Watson, is the unwitting(probably) host for a
flood of emails being sent.

Here is the URL to a description of it/them and how to remove.

Sorry, but advance warning is one of the few ways to stop this crap.

Cheers!
