Level 4 Virus Alert!  THIS IS NOT A HOAX!
W32.Badtrans.B@mm

I have been receiving this virus all day from different persons.  This one can be very dangerous! The virus arrives via the Microsoft Outlook email program and attempts to send itself by replying to unread email messages.

The email may contain the text "Take a look to the attachment" in the message body and may or may not contain a viewable attachment.  The attachment name is created in three sections, for example, card.doc.pif.

If the attachment is opened, the worm displays a message box entitled, "Install error" which reads, "File data corrupt: probably due to a bad data transmission or bad disk access." A copy is saved into the WINDOWS directory as INETD.EXE and an entry is entered into the WIN.INI file to run INETD.EXE at startup. KERN32.EXE (a backdoor Trojan), and HKSDLL.DLL (a valid keylogger DLL) are written to the WINDOWS SYSTEM directory, and a registry entry is created to load the Trojan upon system startup.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\kernel32=kern32.exe

Once running, the Trojan attempts to mail the victim's IP Address to the author. Once this information is obtained, the author can connect to the infected system via the Internet and steal personal information such as usernames, and passwords. In addition, the Trojan also contains a keylogger program which is capable of capturing other vital information such as credit card and bank account numbers and passwords.

These viruses send themselves out to others.  The one who sent it to you is not aware it is happening, and of course, did not do it intentionally.  Just be a good neighbor, protect yourself, and FYI them how to do the same.

If you have been infected please follow the link below for help.

Prevention methods:
1. Corporate email filtering systems should block all email that have attachments with the extensions .scr and .pif.
2. Users should not open any emails with an attachment that matches the names listed above. Any email that has such an attachment should be deleted.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Still trying to get the rooms of this house put together since moving over three months ago, but I spent this afternoon setting up my porcelain Christmas Scene with the angels, nativity, carolers, bakers, various mosaic pieces, and candles on top of my entertainment center. I thought I would share it with you here.

Having trouble printing documents off the Extranet Site (PL Consultants)?
Here are some tips:

Download IE 5.5 Service Pack 21. Make sure you are using the most current Internet Explorer Browser. Recent updates on Extranet have required IE 5.0 or higher. The most current and stable version is currently IE 5.5, service pack 2, and is downloadable HERE. Note: IE 6.0 has been released but I would still recommend 5.5 currently.

Download Adobe Acrobat Reader2. Make sure you are using the most current Adobe Acrobat Reader software, which is version 5.0, and is available for download HERE. Remember - the free version is a "read only" that will allow you to view and print Adobe pdf files. The FULL version of Acrobat is pricey but worth every penny if you have a need to CREATE pdf files regularly. The Full version 5.0 is $249 retail, $99 upgrade (must already own a previous full version - this will not upgrade the "reader" version).
