In an effort to spread awareness of viral threats, we have made this page available to you.
Most virus warnings you receive in your email box are hoaxes.
These are not.
Click here for Important Notes from MyPagesOnline
DO NOT download these files!!!
Now they are sending themselves out as 'fixes.' We recently recieved an email saying: "We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious Klez.E virus"
The email actually contained a virus. It also goes on to say "NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.
If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'." (Yeah, right!)
There are some files going around via email that may look like a .pif, .doc. or even a .bat file and are NOT what they appear to be. These files often turn out to have double extensions, (like .pif.exe) but many computers and email programs do not show the second extension. Many virus programs also do not recognise the second extension, and therefore are not catching these virii.
Again, be VERY cautious of large or unusual files being sent to you without your asking for them.
You can assume these ARE virii and delete them imediately without downloading.
