New Computer Virus on campus. How to avoid it?

There is a new computer virus attacking computers. It is called W32/Myparty@MM.

It arrives in a message with the subject line of “new photos from my party!”.

The message body reads:

“Hello!

My party… It was absolutely amazing! I have attached my web page with new photos! If you can please make color prints of my photos. Thanks!”

The attached file is “www.myparty.yahoo.com”

Do not open this attachment.

The virus is basically another sircam in that it infects your computer merely to use it as a base to infect other computers.

Elon Students with questions or concerns about this virus should contact Elon Student Computer Services at (336) 278-5100.
