I know we've all had Virus Hoaxes spread on this mail list, but I've researched this one and it is very real! http://vil.nai.com/vil/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99035 A new virus referred to as the "NakedWife", is being spread via an email attachment. We at VF are assuring that all our virus software is updated to detect and clean this virus so that it does not cause any issues for our users. If you receive an email from someone that is structured as shown below do not open the email, but delete it immediately: Subject: Fw: Naked Wife Body: My wife never look like that! :-) Best Regards, (sender's name) Attachment: NakedWife.exe This virus masquerades as a Flash movie. When run, it sends itself to all recipients in the Windows Address Book and attempts to delete all .BMP, .COM, .EXE, .INI and .LOG files in the WINDOWS and WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories. As a reminder to assure that you are not subjected to a computer virus at any time, the following should be kept in mind: Virus Detection and Prevention Tips 1. Do not open any files attached to an email from an unknown, suspicious or untrustworthy source. 2. Do not open any files attached to an email unless you know what it is, even if it appears to come from a dear friend or someone you know. Some viruses can replicate themselves and spread through email. Better be safe than sorry and confirm that they really sent it. 3. Do not open any files attached to an email if the subject line is questionable or unexpected. If the need to do so is there always save the file to your hard drive before doing so. 4. Delete chain emails and junk email. Do not forward or reply to any to them. These types of email are considered spam, which is unsolicited, intrusive mail that clogs up the network. 5. Do not download any files from strangers. 6. Exercise caution when downloading files from the Internet. Ensure that the source is a legitimate and reputable one. Verify that an anti-virus program checks the files on the download site. If you're uncertain, don't download the file at all or download the file to a floppy and test it with your own anti-virus software.
