Apologies for cross-posting. I thought I had better bring list-members attention to a potentially nasty e-mail/virus doing the rounds currently. It arrives in your mailbox ostensibly as a security update from Microsoft, with an attached file: q216309.exe and a (genuine) link to a page on Microsoft's web-site. If you receive this e-mail do NOT run this programme as it contains the virus: W32.Gibe@mm For more information on the virus, please see the Symantec Anti-virus Research Centre site on: http:[log in to unmask] They also provide a detection/removal tool on: http:[log in to unmask] What makes this virus nasty is that the page on Microsoft's page that it points you to is a technical article about a real Microsoft download that will prevent some viral attacks. Should you wish to download this Microsoft's fix, please use: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/q319182/default.asp Regards Chris Meaney (AIMC) Managing Director ======================================================================== Harvard Consultancy Services Ltd, Bexin House, 2/3 St. Andrews Place Southover Road, Lewes, East Sussex, BN7 1UP Tel: 01273 897517, Fax: 01273 471929, E-Mail: [log in to unmask] Registered in England & Wales no. 3766540 Registered Office: 50 Harvard Close, Malling, Lewes, East Sussex, BN7 2EJ.
