=======================================================================
WORM IS CIRCULATING VIA EMAIL; DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS
A new worm is currently circulating via email. Possible subject lines
include:
*Error
*Hello
*Hi
*Test
*Server Report
*Status
These emails also contain the following attachments:
*file.zip
*file.pif
*message.scr
*message.zip
*doc.fdr
*doc.pif
*readme.pif
*readme.zip
*text.zip
*document.zip
*test.cmd
*data.zip
*or combinations of these.
Some of these messages will appear to have come from other IEEE employees.
Staff should not open these attachments and should simply delete the
messages.
IT is aware of the issue and is working to resolve it. The external IEEE
mail servers will be taken down tonight as a result. Internal email will
still function.

Please respond to
"Peter L. Tarver"
I received several e-mails this morning with subject lines
like:
"Returned mail: User unknown"
"DELIVERY FAILURE:" followed by gibberish
"Mail transaction failed"
and "Undeliverable mail"
each of which were infected with the virus W32.Novarg.A@mm,
as reported by Norton Antivirus.
Be wary.
Regards,
Peter L. Tarver, PE
