Recently, you may have heard that a new e-mail virus has appeared. This new virus, the "Sober" worm, is legitimate, and spreads in much the same way as other recent viruses have spread - a person receives the message, runs the infected attachment, and the virus sends itself out to people whose e-mail addresses are in various files on the person's system.

While our GroupWise system does not automatically launch file attachments, launching a suspicious attachment may still infect your PC and possibly delete important system files, making your system unusable.We do automatically update virus definitions, but your machine will only be updated if you shut your PC down at the end of each work day.

E-mail messages with the following subjects may be infected:

• Re: Your Password
• Re: Registration Confirmation
• Re: Your email was blocked
• Re: mailing error
• Re: [blank]
• Ihr Passwort
• Mail-Fehler!
• Ihre E-Mail wurde verweigert
• Ich bin's, was zum lachen ;)
• Glueckwunsch: Ihr WM Ticket
• WM Ticket Verlosung
• WM-Ticket-Auslosung

In addition, infected messages will also have one of the following filenames as the infected attachment:

• our_secret.zip
• mail_info.zip
• error-mail_info.zip
• account_info.zip
• account_info-text.zip
• LOL.zip
• autoemail-text.zip
• _PassWort-Info.zip
• Fifa_Info-Text.zip
• okTicket-info.zip

If you do not have Norton Antivirus on your PC, please contact Customer Services at x3340 to arrange to have the software installed on your PC.

If you do not have any antivirus software at home, we advise you to purchase an antivirus program immediately. If you do have antivirus software at home, make sure you update your virus definitions on a regular basis.

For further information on the Sober worm, please read Symantec's summary.

Due to necessary maintenance, Blackboard (http://my.adelphi.edu/) will be unavailable beginning Tuesday, April 12th, 2005, 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM Wednesday, April 13th, 2005.

We will send out a notice when services have been restored.

On March 24, 2005 beginning at 7:30 AM and lasting until 2:00 PM the Office of Information Technology and Resources will be conducting an upgrade to the university's network system.

All residence halls' internet communication (both in and out) will be interrupted during the upgrade process. The Information Commons (located in Swirbul Library) will not be affected by this upgrade. All students are invited to complete their internet communications from the available computers at this location.

During this time, ALICAT will be unavailable and there will be no off-campus access to the electronic resources (electronic journals and databases) provided through the library.

The electronic resources will be available on campus, and there will be reference librarians (516.877.3574) for research assistance.

Thank you for your patience.

Due to scheduled maintenance, all Internet connectivity and Web-based services will be offline and unavailable Thursday, March 3, at 6:00 AM. Affected services include C.L.A.S.S., Blackboard, GroupWise Web Access, DegreeWorks, and eCampus. Service is expected to be online and ready for the start of business that morning.

We will inform the Adelphi community via email when all services have been restored.

Due to necessary system maintenance the GroupWise email system will be unavailable on Friday, February 25, 2005 from 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM. During this downtime, any messages sent to your account will be queued for later delivery.

We will send out a notice when services have been fully restored.

Effective immediately, the Web forums at forums.adelphi.edu are no longer active. The information is now available on the message boards of eCampus, Adelphi's new portal. The message boards are located under the Community tab.

The successful launch of eCampus demonstrates its ability to consolidate information in one secure, convenient location. Future updates will include more enhancements for students, faculty and staff.

If you have not yet signed up for eCampus, get connected now. Go to www.adelphi.edu and click on eCampus.

Due to necessary maintenance, Blackboard (my.adelphi.edu) will be unavailable beginning 4:30 PM on Thursday, February 17. The estimated downtime is 30 minutes.

Customer Services will inform you via email when services have been fully restored.

Due to system maintenance Blackboard (my.adelphi.edu) and Panther (panther.adelphi.edu) will be unavailable this Friday, January 21, beginning at 4:30 PM. We anticipate service will be restored within two hours.

Customer Services will inform you via email when both systems are restored.

This upgrade is being performed in many phases. Each phase consists of 1-2 buildings being upgraded on a scheduled day, which will cause network service interruption. This will affect users' access to email, H: and I: drives, printing, Administrative Systems and all other systems and resources that are available through the Internet.

During the interruption of service of a given building, all users who are not affected that day should keep in mind that those users who are affected will only be reachable by phone - not by email - and will be unable to access any of the above stated network resources.

Please plan and schedule your work accordingly. There will be limited use of your computer during the outage for your building.
