Mimail Virus |
One issue that we have seen increased reports of and that has moved to the top of
threat lists is the W32.Mimail.A. The Mimail virus may appear to be from your
Internet service provider with a subject of "your account", an attachment named
"Message.zip" and the message contains the following text:
Hello there,
I would like to inform you about important information regarding your email address.
This email address will be expiring.
Please read attachment for details.
Best regards,
Administrator
More information about this virus is available at Symantec's web site by clicking

As with these and other vulnerablities the best advice is to update your Windows
regularly using the built in Windows Update feature or by going to
windowsupdate.com and
install an antivirus software on your computer and keep it up to date.
