"Mail Server" Virus Warming-Truth!



Summary of the eRumor:

A virus warning about an email that comes with a subject line of "Mail
Server Report." The message says that it is a bad virus. The email is
described as having a zip file attachment and says that you have sent
out an email with a virus in it and that if you click the attachment,
you can fix the problem.



The Truth:

This virus warning is true and the virus is real, according virus
protection sites such as Mcafee, Symantec, and F-Secure. It was first
reported in September, 2006 but a warning about the virus circulated
heavily in February, 2007 as well.



F-Secure names the virus Warezov. Other virus protection sites called it Stration.bb or W32/Stration-X.



The email says that it has been determined that emails containing a
worm are being sent from your computer and that you should install the
attachment to update your computer and, presumably, stop the virus from
being sent. The problem, of course, is that the attachment itself is a
virus that searches your computer for email addresses and sends itself
to them.



Be sure you have good virus protection software and that your virus definitions are up to date.
