Dear Sir or Mam, The file attachment you sent to Byerly, Wendy\Inbox is not an authorized file type or it contains a virus that can not be removed from the file. If you do not understand this message, please send an email to [email protected]. Please do not reply to this email address. It is not monitored or checked at all. Please note that currently we have noticed an increase in the detection of the W32.KLEZ virus and a number of its variations. Symantec Corporation has a clean tool that has proven to be helpful to us. It may also help you. It has an information page at: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/ w32.klez.removal.tool.html If you have not had the opportunity to read the W32.Klez Virus information, please read this excerpt from the Symantec Web Page: Email spoofing (Source: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected] ) Some variants of this worm use a technique known as spoofing. If so, the worm randomly selects an address that it finds on an infected computer. It uses this address as the From address that it uses when it performs its mass-mailing routine. Numerous cases have been reported in which users of uninfected computers received complaints that they sent an infected message to someone else. For example, Linda Anderson is using a computer that is infected with W32.Klez.E@mm; Linda is not using an antivirus program or does not have current virus definitions. When W32.Klez.gen@mm performs its emailing routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan. It inserts Harold's email address into the From portion of an infected message that it then sends to Janet Bishop. Janet then contacts Harold and complains that he sent her an infected message, but when Harold scans his computer, Norton AntiVirus does not find anything--as would be expected--because his computer is not infected. If you are using a current version of Norton AntiVirus and you have the most recent virus definitions, and a full system scan with Norton AntiVirus set to scan all files does not find anything, you can be confident that your computer is not infected with this worm. Sincerly, The Information Technology Staff Mid-South Management Company. Crescent Media Group.
