New Level 4 Virus makes its Rounds

A widely spread new internet virus, spread through email, is rapidly making its rounds. Symantec a leader in antivirus software has placed the new virus called MyDoom or Novarg, as a level 4, which is equivalent to some of the more famous viruses such as Bugbear, Klez and Sobig which during their peak created havoc with email servers around the world.

The virus has the potential to spoof the senders email address, meaning it is not always from the person that it appears to be from. The subject line could be any of the following: test, hi, hello, Mail Delivery System, Mail Transaction Failed, Server Report, Status, Error.

We encourage you to ensure that your antivirus software protection is up to date, not to open any attachments that you were not expecting even if you do think you know the sender and to read more about this virus on the Symantec website.
