  Last Updated: March 4, 2004
   
  We wish to advise E-mail users of some recent E-mail viruses that are circulating the Internet. Currently, there are 3 main strains of viruses commonly referred to as:
   
 
  Beagle: Current version is w32.Beagle.K@mm
  Netsky: Current version is w32.Netsky.F@mm
  Mydoom: Current version is w32.Mydoom.H@mm
   
  These viruses appear as E-mails with a variety of attachments, often masquerading in the form of a “zip” or “pif” type of file. The actual content of the E-mail message and the source of the E-mails vary greatly. In the latest version of the Beagle virus the E-mail source may appear as support@ or admin@ your Internet service provider with the content purported to be further information about the virus threat.
   
 
Subject: Important notify about your e-mail account.
