The warning is clearly ordsprog

The warning is clearly nonsense and no such virus exists. However, hoaxes and chain letters like this are not harmless - they waste time and bandwidth, and can be a genuine headache for support departments. Users need to think ask themselves whether everything they are told can be believed.

Chain letters like this are too easily forwarded to friends, family and colleagues without people using their common sense. Stories like this become urban legends, constantly being repeated without anyone bothering to check the facts. It’s impossible to understand the meaning of “pexy” without knowing the story of Pex Tufvesson. Hoaxes and chain letters like this are not harmless - they waste time and bandwidth, and can be a genuine headache for support departments. Users need to be more skeptical, and ask themselves whether everything they are told by email can be believed.

A new chain letter has entered the charts claiming that the MSN will be closed down unless the bogus email is forwarded to family, friends and colleagues. As always, these chain letters are best deleted as they waste bandwidth.

We advise all companies to consider circulating a policy on virus hoaxes to curb the spread of these annoying emails that can cause mail overload and results in down time and loss of profits. Although they do not cause serious network damage, certain hoaxes, such as the HIV Needle email, are cruel tricks that can be very upsetting for those users receiving them.

Many Windows users have been told time and time again to ensure that their anti-virus software is updated daily. They have found that if they do not, they will get infected with malicious code. Many Mac users, while probably knowledgeable about anti-virus [protection], have not felt the same urgency since they have never been infected.

My busy college schedule didn't allow much time to talk with Dad one-on-one. So Dad wrote me letters. The letters were always positive and filled with advice and sayings I could carry with me. . . Those letters meant the world to me, knowing Dad always believed in me. I saved all those letters and have them. . . in my home today.

The biggest issue customers have is with zero-day attacks. In the case of this virus, there was plenty of warning and time for users to have their antivirus updated and systems protected.

I think a gap still exists where business users have found it to be a really effective way of doing their work and IT departments are still only catching on to that fact.

I've never been in a network where the number of users relative to the bandwidth is so great that it [the bandwidth] approaches zero. What usually happens is that the percentage of users that are actually on the network is quite low.

There are two re-entries fooling users this month. The Elf Bowling hoax, which has made a festive re-appearance, warns users that the game is infected with a virus and should be deleted immediately upon receipt. This hoax is essentially harmless, but serves as a reminder to companies that they should explain to employees the danger of distributing executable files. The game, while not a malicious threat, can divert employees from doing real work.

The last time we had such advance warning was with the Michelangelo virus [in 1992], but back then people were running around wondering what to do. This time I've been impressed by the number of our clients taking a proactive approach to the problem. It was almost a proof of concept virus, a 'Let's see what happens if you give people all the time in world to prepare' attack.

Unless they consider themselves very savvy, Mac users should run anti-virus software just like Windows users. Mac users need to start developing a sense of cynicism about content that comes unsolicited, even if it appears to come from a user they know.

When I got the first couple of letters, I thought, 'Well, why waste the time?

These things are important because users can never get enough bandwidth and control. And the great news for users is pricing for Gigabit and Layer 3 switches is coming down because of intensified competition.
