[NHRC-user] watch out for fraudulent spam

[Budd Turner]

This is one of the recent Bagle trojans that's 
running around. See http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_101074.htm 
for more details.
I've been receiving emails containing the trojans 1-2 per hour for the past week.
Just about every mailing list or forum I subscribe to has been hit with these bogus notices.
Keep your anti-virus signature files updated and scan regularly.  Daily is best for both.

I have just intercepted a message sent to this list by persons unknown.

This message purports to be from "noreply at nhrc.net" and suggests that you 
update your anti-virus software with the attachment.

We (NHRC LLC) are not in the anti-virus business and will never, ever, send 
executable programs out on our email list.

Here's what the message looks like:

----
Hello user of Nhrc.net e-mail server,

Our antivirus software has detected a large ammount of viruses outgoing
from your email account, you may use our free anti-virus tool to clean up
your computer software.

For details see the attach.

Have a good day,
The Nhrc.net team http://www.nhrc.net

Again, this is fake, fraudulent, and not from us. It was intercepted 
before it could make it out onto the list. I have heard that there are 
worms circulating like this, and wanted to warn our list users... Don't 
open attachments unless you are sure of the source!

For those who are interested, the message apparently entered the network 
from a dialup ISP in Windsor Ontario.
