ALERT: New Virus - Update Your Security Settings and Anti Virus Software

Travel News Asia 20 August 2003

A new virus, or at least a variant of a former virus, called Sobig.f was discovered yesterday and is proliferating at a terrific pace, having already earned the acclaim of some as the fastest growing virus ever.

Please ensure that you have installed all the latest updates for your anti-virus software and your friends, and staff etc are made aware of this new virus.

If you are not using Anti Virus software then you should be. For home use and individual computer use we humbly recommend Norton Internet Security which comes bundled with Norton Anti Virus and automatically updated itself with all the latest virus definitions.

Because of the pace at which this virus is currently moving and the thousands of emails we are receiving our daily travel news email well be delayed. 

Please note that none of our systems are infected, and this virus has the ability to 'spoof' an email address meaning it can pretend to be one from an email address when in reality it comes from another.
