Here is another virus to be careful of.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Adelphia Power Link Customer,
Adelphia would like to make our customers aware of a new virus, the W32/Mydoom@MM. This new virus is a mass-mailing type of virus that arrives as an e-mail attachment. If the attachment is launched, it may allow access to your computer from a remote individual.
To minimize exposure to this and other email viruses we recommend using extreme caution or never opening email attachments.
As a reminder, to limit exposure and confusion, Adelphia will never send it's customers emails with attachments.
If your computer becomes infected, the worm creates a "backdoor" for attackers to remotely access your computer, files and network resources. In addition, the "backdoor" has the ability to download and execute arbitrary files onto your computer.
Further information on this virus/worm can be found on the following links:
