Attention Netplus Users: 

IMPORTANT VIRUS ALERT

A new virus is going around that is very DANGEROUS. It is spread by e-mail programs like Outlook. The email message can appear as follows:

Subject: Fw: Naked Wife
Body: My wife never look like that! ;-)
Best regards,
(sender's name)

Attachment: NakedWife.exe

This worm, after it has attempted to email everyone in the Microsoft Outlook address book, will attempt to delete several system files. This will leave the system unusable, requiring a re-install.

Since this virus uses your e-mail address book the e-mail may be from someone that you know. Please do not be fooled. If you run the attachment the virus will attempt to delete important files from your windows. It will also attempt mail itself to contacts in your address book. Everyone should have antivirus software running on their PC and there e-mail should be set to high security. These thing will help however if you receive an e-mail like this make sure that you DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. DELETE THE E-MAIL RIGHT AWAY. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DELETE IT FROM YOUR DELETED ITEMS FOLDER, IN OUTLOOK.
