NSC-040420: Emergency Virus Measure
This afternoon we are being bombarded with another new virus. We have already had dozens of machines infected. This new virus comes as an email attachment with (so far as we know) an extention of ".com"
In order to try and curb additional machine infections, blocks have been placed in the campus e-mail gateway for messages containing the following attachment types: .scr, .pif, .com, .cmd, .exe, and .bat. We will also be taking action on infected machines to help contain the spread of this virus.
Support staff are working with our anti-virus vendors to identify this virus and get updated signatures as soon as we can.
