-----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: http://www.demon.net/products/security/online/ Malcolm Muir Demon Internet - -- Malcolm S.
