<DIV>Subject: Klez virus attacking AU - do not open attachments </DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Auburn University is in the midst of an outbreak of the Klez virus.&nbsp; 
On-campus users run a high risk of receiving its deadly payload. It is carried 
via an e-mail message with an attached file that may be a .bat, .exe, .pif or 
.scr file.&nbsp; If you use Outlook(/Express), you can get Klez even without 
opening the attachment.&nbsp; Messages are going around claiming to have a Klez 
prevention tool and instructing you to disable your virus protection.&nbsp; (AU 
folks aren't buying that, are we?&nbsp; Please say no!)&nbsp; The From field is 
faked, so the message may appear to be from someone in your address book. You 
may get bounce messages saying a message you sent is undeliverable, referring to 
messages you didn't send.&nbsp; Simply delete them.&nbsp; Do not open an e-mail 
attachment even if the sender appears to be someone you know. Ask the sender for 
a confirmation reply before opening the attachment. An infected message cannot 
be easily identified by its subject line or the name of the attached file. If 
you are running the current McAfee software available free from <A 
href="http://www.auburn.edu/download">www.auburn.edu/download</A> according to 
the instructions at <A 
href="http://www.auburn.edu/oit/virus">www.auburn.edu/oit/virus</A>, then you 
are protected from Klez.&nbsp; If you already have the virus, use the removal 
tool at <A 
href="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.removal.tool.html">http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.removal.tool.html</A><BR>or 
at <A 
href="http://www.bitdefender.com/html/free_tools.php">http://www.bitdefender.com/html/free_tools.php</A>.<BR>&nbsp;<BR></DIV>
