Delete Virus Alert Messages
Denise Heagerty
, CERN Computer Security Officer ( Warnings of viruses are almost always hoaxes - please delete them, even if they come from someone you know. A recent example had the subject: VIRUS ALERT - name: jdbgmgr.exe- PLEASE FORWARDThe information in this email is false. The file
jdbgmgr.exe is not a virus. It is standard windows file used
by the Java debugger. You must never forward email of this kind -
just delete it. The CERN computer security team will inform you if
there is ever a real alert.
You can check if an email is hoax from the link in the virus section of of the Computer Security home page, http://cern.ch/security |
