*********SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT***********
Virus Alert.
Attention all email users not currently protected by
McAfee AntiVirus Defense. There is, at this time, a high risk
of attack from the AnnaKournikova virus or Anna virus. Also
known as VBS/SST, this viral worm is said to be spreading
twice as fast as the Love Bug virus of last year. Posing as a
photo of tennis player Anna Kournikova, it infects your system
when a user opens the email attachment. Once activated, it
emails itself to everyone in the user's Microsoft Outlook
address books. Users should immediately delete any email
with the following:
Subject: Here you have, ;o)
Body: Hi: Check This!
Attachment: AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs
The Anna virus eluded detection among some anti virus
providers. At the onset, according to CNET news, "neither
Symantec nor Trend Micro had patches that would allow their
software to detect the virus. McAfee said the latest version of
its anti virus software will detect the virus." McAfee AntiVirus
Defense preemptively protected its users from the
AnnaKournikova virus through several unique features. The
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator enforces anti-virus policies across
the enterprise from the desktop to the Web gateway to remote
or mobile users, preventing outbreaks. Immediate information
and cure for the AnnaKournikova virus can be found online at
the McAfee site at
http://cgi.zdnet.com/slink?81009
or call 1 (800) 338-8754.
McAfee users should ensure their anti-virus protection is
updated with the latest versions for maximum protection.
