Subject: MASSMAIL - Email Viruses Disguised as UIUC Email
There are several computer viruses currently active on our network.
These viruses deliver emails that appear to be about your university
email account and are signed by The Management or Officials at UIUC.
The emails do NOT come from the University of Illinois. If you
get these emails, DO NOT OPEN the attachments. If the emails are deleted
without accessing the attachments, then you should be safe
from infection by these viruses.
CITES (Campus Information Technologies and Educational Services) is
presently contacting UIUC students, faculty and staff about
switching to the CITES Express Email system. These legitimate
messages do NOT include file attachments nor do they ask you to open
an email attachment.
Please be certain to keep your anti-virus software updated. With the
current rate at which viruses are being propagated, updates should be
performed at least twice a day. For further information about anti-virus
software, please see http://www.cites.uiuc.edu/security/. If you need
assistance in updating your anti-virus software or if your system
becomes infected, contact the CITES Help Desk at 217-244-7000.This mailing approved by:
The Office of the Chancellor
