YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE BECAUSE YOU ARE A MEMBER OF SMART-LIST. IF YOU WISH TO BE REMOVED FROM THIS LIST, PLEASE TYPE REMOVE IN THE SUBJECT BOX OF YOUR REPLY.) (((((((((((((((((( McAfee.com Dispatch ))))))))))))))))))))) _______________________VIRUS ALERT__________________________ ******* VIRUS ALERT - APStrojan.qa And BackDoor-G2 ********* Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber: Please be on the alert for APStrojan.qa and BackDoor-G2. ------------------------------------------------------------ ************ APStrojan.qa ************ APStrojan.qa is a trojan and AVERT raised its risk assessment from Low to Medium--On Watch. It primarily infects Windows 98 systems, though it may also infect Windows 95 if the file MSVBVM50.DLL is present. Please Note: This trojan has been reported by several users of the America Online Internet service. For this reason, AVERT researchers suspect it has been distributed by spam email sent to AOL users. APStrojan.qa is a password stealer designed to attack America Online client software to determine user account passwords. It will then attempt to send the stolen information to the author of the trojan. APStrojan.qa has been distributed as an attachment to an email with the subject line "hey you." The attachment has been widely reported with the name "MINE.EXE." Important: If your system has been infected with APStrojan.qa, AFTER removing the trojan, be sure to choose a new password for your AOL account! ------------------------------------------------------------ *********** BackDoor-G2 *********** BackDoor-G2 is an Internet Backdoor trojan that infects Windows 9x systems. It is a new variant of the original BackDoor-G, which was first discovered 4/15/99. AVERT has changed its risk assessment from Low to Medium--On Watch for individual home users (there have as yet been no reports of infection from corporate clients). Once it infects your PC, BackDoor-G2 allows anyone running the appropriate client software to have virtually unlimited access to your system over the Internet. Your vital, private files may be read, altered, or destroyed. _______________________Virus Fixes__________________________ Check if your system is infected with this FREE virus scan: http://www.mcafee.com/linkshare/default2.asp?oemid=1793-27&cid=1206 to use VirusScan Online...click on free trial button and then anti virus tab...you do not have to buy any software.
