EverQuest Daily Update: December 16, 2002
Hello,
It seems we all got an early christmas present yesterday after a Klez virus managed to successfully spoof the right email addresses to send you all a copy of it's lovely virus.
The Klez virus only affects Windows based machines. So Mac & Linux users will not be affected.
You can learn more about the virus and download a free cleaner for it from this address:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.removal.tool.html
We have taken steps to ensure this should not happen again, but it is important if you use the internet these days (especially on windows based machines) that you consider purchasing a virus checker to help protect your systems.
Hope you all have a great christmas.
