Forwardkan Email ini untuk pengguna Hotmail yang lain !! Virus Scanner Hotmail tertinggal 6 versi, jadi hati-hati bagi pengguna hotmail. Scanner ini tidak dapat mendeteksi virus Emanuel dan di khawatirkan tidak mengenali virus Hybris yang cukup berbahaya. Pihak Mc Afee menyalahkan Microsoft (pemilik Hotmail) atas insiden ini karena tidak mau melakukan update definisi virus. Hal ini menjadi pelajaran bagi pengguna komputer bahwa nama besar tidak menjamin program antivirus itu mampu mendeteksi virus, tapi yang penting adalah Update definisi virus secara tetap dan kontinyu. Karena virus baru selalu bermunculan setiap bulan (400 virus baru terdeteksi muncul setiap bulan dan bersiap menyerang komputer anda). English Version (from ZDnet http://www.zdii.com/industry_list.asp?mode=news&doc_id=ZD2679292 ) Please Forward this email to other Hotmail User !!! Hotmail not immune to viruses By Ruud Boxma, ZDNet Netherlands ZDNet News Last Friday Zdnet.nl reported that the free e-mail service did not intercept the Emmanuel-virus, which first spread in November 2000. The Hotmail virus scanner appears to be at least six versions behind. ZDNet.nl informed both Microsoft and McAfee about the vulnerability we had uncovered, so that they could update the virus definitions on the Hotmail servers. McAfee claims the problem is Microsoft's fault. According to a spokesperson for McAfee, Microsoft refuses to implement new virus updates. Michiel Goossens of Microsoft The Netherlands reported the problem to Microsoft USA immediately after our report. Six days later, nothing has changed: today at 11 am, the Hotmail virus scanner was still unable to intercept the Emmanuel-virus. The virus is causing a lot of trouble worldwide. ZDNet.nl has received reports about virus breaches in several systems. Hotmail users who rely on the inbuilt virus scanner might be in for a surprise. The Emmanuel virus does not cause any serious damage, but the Prolin virus might. It is not impossible that it too goes undetected by the Hotmail antivirus software. McAfee released Version 41.5 of its software, which can intercept Emmanuel, last November. In the meantime, McAfee is at Version 4.15. Licensees can immediately download updates from the McAfee website. According to Sal Viveros, spokesperson for Network Associates and McAfee in Europe, the willingness of Hotmail to update its virus scanner has been a problem ever since the partnership started three years ago.
