Subject: E-MAIL VIRUS ALERT
An e-mail virus, masquerading as a patch announcement from Microsoft, is circulating at Aventis. The subject of the message is "Latest Microsoft Critical Upgrade" and it contains an attachment with a virus. Global IS Security has initiated steps to strip this attachment from incoming e-mail messages; however, you may still get the base e-mail without the attachment.
If you receive this message, do not open it. Delete it immediately.
Microsoft never sends an attachment in any e-mail for security patches. While the message is a fake, the virus it contains is very real and dangerous. Again, do not open this message or any of its attachments. Delete it immediately. Please remember, all virus notifications will be initiated by Global IS Security. If you receive a virus notification from an outside source, immediately call your local Help Desk.
There is a chance that you may have received this virus e-mail before preventative action was initiated. If you have opened the message and clicked on the attachment, call the Help Desk immediately.
