Several people have reported getting mail from people with subjects such
as "Magazine on its way" and "Welcome to U-pons from Kroger" or other
innocent sounding subjects.  The mail contains a double-suffix
disguising itself as "magazine.doc" or "offers.pdf" but the actual
filenames are "magazine.doc.exe" or "offers.pdf.exe" (or similar).

THESE EXECUTABLES ARE A VIRUS.

THEY ARE NOT BEING CAUGHT BY THE CURRENT NORTON ANTI-VIRUS SIGNATURES WE
HAVE ON CAMPUS.

DELETE THESE FILES.  DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENTS.
