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
