More anti-virus hints
The best way to prevent email viruses is to NEVER open any attachment sent by
people you don't know. Even it is from your friend, you need to check the
content of the email, before opening the attachment. Recently, the Sobig
virus is spreading very fast across the Internet. The subject line of the Sobig
virus are one of the following (may be more variants):
Thank you!
Re: Thank you!
Re: Approved
Re: Your Application
That movie
Wicked Screensaver
The content is usually "See attachment for details". WARNING:
NEVER open the attachments of such an email, even its subject line is not like
those listed above.
FINAL WARNING: Some email viruses looks like
an email that is originated by you and returned by the server because the
recipient is not reachable. This is FAKE!!! Never open any attachments in
returned emails, even you might think that this mail is actually sent by
yourself.
Using SpamWeed, these viruses can be easily blocked. For the first 2-3
times, these virus will come into your inbox (however they are already
disabled). Please train SpamWeed to treate them as viruses. You will no longer
be bothered by those "dead bodies" again.re
