    Virus Warning of April 23 from Vice Chancellor for Information Technology.
    This is an informational message about an email worm / virus that is sweeping across campus. There is an increasing amount of computer infections sweeping across campus since 04.19.02 - more so than any other virus we have seen in the last few months. It is of type (W32.Klez email worm) and is characterized by receipt of random attachments in email that you weren't expecting, from email addresses that may or may not look familiar to you. For more information about this virus, please visit http://www.security.uconn.edu. Remember: only open attachments that you were expecting from email addresses that you recognize. Opening unexpected attachments, especially from email addresses that you do not correspond with frequently, is extremely unsafe and will eventually lead to a virus infection.
