Enron Mail |
There are many different variations of the "ILOVEYOU" computer virus still
being reported. The IT Infrastructure team is continually updating our virus software as new versions become available, but it is extremely important that you do not open any attachments that you do not regularly receive from business associates. Even business associates you are very familiar with could be sending you the virus without knowing it, so unless you are expecting an email from them with an specified attachment please do not open it. If you are unsure whether to open an attachment please do not open it. Call your HelpDesk to ask any questions and to get verification if required. We may need you to log out and log back in during the day as new anti virus updates become available. We appreciate your cooperation while we all work to keep Enron's computing environment secure. Please note the following Enron Policies regarding viruses: Malicious Code (Virus) Screening In addition to the Enron requirement for email attachments (received and sent) to be screened for malicious code (viruses, Trojan Horses, etc.), users of Enron information resources are required to detach email attachments that are received on to their hard drive for local virus screening purposes. All executables (*.bat, *exe, *.com, *.vbs) files should never be launched from email without first consulting with IT. Virus Alerts The Internet is constantly being flooded with information about computer viruses and Trojan Horses. However, within among real virus notices are computer virus hoaxes. While these hoaxes do not infect systems, they are still time consuming and costly to handle. It only wastes bandwidth and unnecessarily alarms other computer users. Please, do not perpetuate unconfirmed warnings about viruses and Trojan Horses. If you receive an invalidated warning, don't pass it to all your friends, pass it to your IT computer security manager to validate first. Enron Information Risk Management 713-853-5536
