    1. Warning!! a "NEW" VIRUS
    2. Hello, I normally don't send emails about such things as a computer virus, but I thing this info is worth sending. There is a new virus reported late last night, to be the most destructive ever. Every time it hits a new computer the words in the subject line are randomly generated, so it never looks the same coming in twice. The really bad thing about this virus is how destructive it really is. Once infected, the virus begins wiping your hard drive and destroying all files. You can still identify this virus by the following: 1. It has the FW / or Forward command to begin the subject line 2. And the attachment always ends in .vbs As mentioned in my previous e-mail virus alert, be very careful about attachments that you are not expecting or recognize as legitimate. If youre afraid you have received this virus: 1. Dont open the attachment 2. Delete it immediately 3. Then empty the deleted items folder from your e-mail system 4. Contact an ISG person If you open this virus, unplug your computer immediately, dont even try to shut it down, you dont have the time to do this. Than call an ISG person for help. Good Luck and be safe ~ Sharon
