We are seeing a big increase in the
number of attempts of the KLEZ virus (info)
being sent to our customers.
Western Idaho Internet is the only
Internet provider in the Treasure Valley (that we are aware of anyway) that protects
customer computers from email viruses by using server based email virus
scanning. We highly recommend that you use our mail servers for all of
your email to provide maximum protection for your computer.
While the Western Idaho Internet mail
servers scan email for both incoming and outgoing viruses, it is extremely
important that each user install, keep current and USE a virus protection
program on each computer they own.
The Western Idaho Internet Virus Filter
service endeavors to catch all email-sourced viruses, but cannot guarantee
detection and removal of unknown viruses.
Do
NOT open any attachment that you are NOT expecting!
Western Idaho Internet recommends that you have anti virus software installed
on your computer for the purpose of detection, scanning and removal of
known/unknown system viruses either pre-existing on your PC hard drive or
ported to your hard drive from a non-email source. (i.e. homework,
projects, programs etc. brought home on a disk and run on your computer)
Purchase a reliable Anti Virus
Software Program.
Update
the software and Scan your computer on a regular schedule.
Circumstances where viruses may
escape the scanning and detection system include but are not limited to:
new
viruses where software manufacturers have not yet issued signatures
all
situations of encrypted emails, which by their nature cannot be scanned
email
accounts from an outside provider i.e. Yahoo, Juno, Hotmail etc
viruses
that may be attached to an email that was received prior to our initiating
this service and is subsequently re-opened
