    The latest virus, named Beagle, that is spreading rapidly, is tricking many users into opening the email becuase of the wording it uses. The email contains a password protected zip file, which allows it to get by many of the Antivirus solutions out there. The email has wording such as:

    Your e-mail account has been temporary disabled because of unauthorized access.

    Our main mailing server will be temporary unavaible for next two days,
    to continue receiving mail in these days you have to configure our free
    auto-forwarding service.

    Your e-mail account will be disabled because of improper using in next
    three days, if you are still wishing to use it, please, resign your
    account information.

    For security reasons attached file is password protected. The password is “ “.

    It has subjects such as “E-mail account disabling warning”, “Notify about your e-mail account utilization”.

    Do not open the email, and definitely do not open the zip with the password. Simply delete the email.

    LexiConn’s Antivirus solution is already updated with this latest virus. It can be added to any account (along with spam protection) to protect all POP boxes for only $5 per month.
