Important Virus Information Recently, there have been reports of theW32.Beagle.J@mm/W32/Bagle.j@mm worm viruses spreading quickly across email networks.

Infected attachments may come in the form of the following files: .zip or .pif. The .zip file contains a password-protected .exe file with the 5-digit password mentioned in the email. In addition, the email that is sent out by the worm will contain a forged email address in the "From:" field of the email header beginning with one of the following:

  • management@
  • administration@
  • staff@
  • noreply@
  • support@

Therefore, email users may receive an infected message and it may appear to have come from a familiar domain, when in fact, it came from a totally different source. (Note: The forging of the email header may also result in users receiving "Failure Delivery" messages for messages they never sent out. If you receive such a message, we encourage you to just delete it.)
