Hello everyone:

Someone out there in the CTLS circle of friends is infected with a virus.
We have been receiving spoofed email messages that appear to be from
legitimate sources, but they are not and the messages are infected with a
virus.  We have also been receiving failure notices from mail servers that
would indicate that good email addresses are being added to the "From"
section of spoofed emails.  So what do you do?

1)  Make sure that you have an anti-virus program installed and running.
You can get a free program here (http://www.asw.cz/i_idt_153.html) if you do
not currently have one running one EVERY machine.

2)  Make sure that your virus definition are up to date.  Every program is
different, but they ALL have a virus definition update feature.

3)  Scan your computers for viruses after the update.  Yes, every single
computer.

4)  If the updates or the scans don't seem to be working, visit
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and do a free online scan of EVERY machine.


If you want to use familiar products and your library is a non-profit
organization, then follow the link below for great prices and anti-virus
software. (Two line URL)
