With the Holiday Seasons comes an increase in the number of computer
viruses that use email attachments to trick users into running them. Two
that are currently determined to be a High Risk are detailed below.

W32.Prolin.Worm

may be received as an email with the subject. A great Shockwave flash
movie
with an attachment named creative.exe

If you receive this email delete it immediately. Opening the attachment
creative.exe can destroy data on your computer and cause significant
damage to BHA computer systems.

W32.Navidad

may be received as an email with an attachment named NAVIDAD.EXE. The
subject of this email will vary.

If you receive this email delete it immediately. Opening the attachment
NAVIDAD.EXE can destroy data on your computer and cause significant
damage to BHA computer systems.


BHA I/T reminds you that The BHA mail system is for Business Use Only
The sending and receiving of personal email is  unacceptable and not
permitted. The best way to prevent the spread of this type of virus is
by not opening any email from someone you do not know and most
importantly do not open any email attachments unless you are sure they
are of business use. Most of this type of virus will try to trick the
user into opening a "cute" or "funny" program. If you limit your use of
BHA email to business use only you will not be the one who introduces a
damaging virus into the BHA system.
