-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

As customers will possibly be aware, another significant virus /
worm, generally being referred to as 'Swen', was launched onto the
Internet late last week.

   http://www.cert.org/current/current_activity.html#swena

The volume of email being generated by this attack is now
affecting the email services offered by ISPs.

We have therefore developed and deployed a filter to detect and
refuse to accept email infected by this specific virus.

Customers should note that due to the variable nature of this
virus, and because the filter is narrowly tuned to avoid catching
genuine email, we cannot be sure to detect all infected email.
Further we are only filtering email on receipt, so any infected
email already waiting to be delivered to customers will still be
delivered.

Our standing advice to customers remains that they use and keep up
to date effective anti-virus software. Such packages are available
from the usual sources, or we can supply one, details of which are
available at:
