[GeoStL] New bug...



 On October 24, 2002 a virus began to spread which has since been named
the "Friend Greeting Application" worm. At this time, the Virus has not
received a rating from the McAfee AVERT research team.

Virus Description - The virus appears to be spreading via email,
carrying a link to an E-card site. It seems when end-users click on this
link the email is propagated to a random number of email addresses in
your Outlook mailbox. At the same time, the virus appears to
disassociate the files on your computer from their respective
applications, making it difficult to access files on your hard disk.

Proposed Remedy - (1) Instruct your users not to click on the URL link
inside a message with the Subject "... you have an E-Card from ..."

(2) If you have Content Filter enabled you can block access to
friendgreetings.com and friendlygreetings.com -
