New Virus Not Detected by Email Virus Scanning
A new virus, bagle.j, hit SU's campus last night. The email virus scanner was not yet able to detect it, so a large amount of virus infected mail got through to email accounts on campus. Please do not open any attachments unless you were expecting to receive the attachment. Many people will have suspicious email this morning. Please just delete it.
McAfee has now released a new file that can detect this virus, and LISD will roll it out this morning. However, we have been getting new viruses at the rate of 1 to 2 a day during the past few days, and the pace of new viruses does not appear to be slowing, so please be extra cautious with email.
Thanks,
