We would like to provide you with an update regarding this latest strand of computer virus:<\/p>\n
– This latest computer virus is called ChangeUp. – It is a self-evolving computer virus thus it is more difficult to catch. – Microsoft has no solution to clean this virus as of this reporting, and we are in the process of contacting Microsoft as well. Their lines and support center are inundated. – Symantec has information to contain this computer virus; however, there is no clean up solution short of restoring the Operating System. – Currently, we have 15 reported cases on campus and we are in the process of contacting these users to restore their systems. – Share drives will be taken off line at 2:00PM today in order to move this service behind FAU Firewall. This will prevent new strands of this virus from reaching these shares. – Symantec anti-virus will continue to run to identify variations of this virus on well over 200 shares over the next 48 hours. – Well over 100 sites around the country that are distributing this virus should be blocked based on recommendations from Symantec. We are in the process of blocking these sites.<\/p>\n
As more information becomes available we will share it with you. In the meantime, share drives consisting of drive Q:, N:, O:, P: and special drives will be taken off-line for emergency migration behind the firewall.<\/p>\n
We truly apologize for this; however, this virus is serious and it has already infected several major organizations around the country.<\/p>\n
