Subject: [IMail Forum] JPEG virus now in the wild


For the first time ever, a JPEG virus in now in the wild.  This is the 
problem that everyone had been dreading for years.  It is now possible
for 
a machine that is behind an extremely secure firewall to receive a virus

simply by going to a website (even some legitimate websites, such as
eBay), 
or previewing an E-mail.

http://www.easynews.com/virus.txt has details on the virus that was just

released.

Now is the time to patch every computer that you can (if possible --
some 
programs with the GDIPlus.dll vulnerability are from companies that are
now 
out of 
business). 
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-028.mspx is one 
place to start.

Also, you need to make sure that your AV software detects these.  For 
Declude Virus users, we recommend upgrading to v1.80 (at 
http://www.declude.com ).  v1.80 will detect this exploit, even if you
have 
Declude Virus configured not to scan .jpg files.  If you are using other

mailserver AV software, you can check with your vendor.

                                                    -Scott
