do not have more information than what Bezeq says, so please direct
all your questions to Bezeq at 1-800-300-666.
o Email virus: A word of warning about the virus knows as
"Wscript.Kakworm" which can effect users of outlook express. This
virus works on a security hole of outlook express (the hole is called
scriptlet.typelib) so that a viral file is created on the system
without having to run an attachment. Simply reading the message is
enough. The virus attaches itself to the signature file and
proliferates that way. According to PF1 Nav 7 would check for this
type of virus, while Nav 5 let it pass through.
Another way is to download a fix from Microsoft which corrects this
hole. For this, please access:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/iebuild/scriptlet/en/scriptlet.htm
When scanning for viruses make sure you scan for filetypes hta and htm
or else this virus will be overlooked.
