There remain a number of our members who are still infected with one of the latest strains of the KLEZ. V1RUS as I write this message. This infectious strain masquerades as an attachment from someone you probably know and trust. It is very dangerous and will eventually do real damage to your computer's hard drive. Why am I writing about this? Because this particular strain sends itself out under an assumed name, pretending to be from someone else in the infected computer's address book. It is, therefore, almost impossible to tell who is actually infected. All that can be determined with certainty is that the infected computer uses a certain Internet Service Provider. In the case of our membership, we have at least one member from Netzero.com and one from AOL.com who are infected RIGHT NOW! Since we have more than one member who use these services, all we can do is advise our membership to make sure that your Antivirus Software is current and that you keep it running at all times. Current Antivirus software is very reasonable in cost and will virtually guarantee that you will not catch a virus when one is sent your way. I am in so many addresses books that I receive at least TEN copies of the Klez virus every day from members who don't even know that they are sending it out to EVERYONE in their address book. This is a plea for each and every one of our members to act responsibly and purchase, install and use AntiVirus software on their home computers. To operate in today's environment without AV software is to invite disaster. It is no longer a matter of IF you get infected. It is only a matter of WHEN you will get an infection and crash your system and lose EVERYTHING inside your computer. For more information on the Klez and other deadly viruses, go to http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99367 We have solid protection in place on our lists which prevent infected attachments from reaching you via our lists but that doesn't mean than an infected computer somewhere won't pretend to be us and send the infection along to you using USNA-Net.org as the fake sender's address. The virus can pretend to come from anyone in the infected computer's address book, including a Midshipman, one of YOUR relatives, anyone. It can even pretend to be from YOU if you are listed in the infected computer's address book. So... How do we stop this? We must ALL (each and every one of us) install and run AV software on any computer with access to the internet. It is no longer an option. It is the obligation of each of us as responsible members of our USNA-Net community. But most of all, you can no longer sit back and assume that this is someone else's problem. Unless you can actually prove that you are not infected by running new AV software and demonstrating that your computer is infection free, you probably are the computer that is causing the virus to be sent to the rest of us. Thanks for your attention.

Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 10:43:24 -0400 Organization: USNA-Net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 Sender: owner-usna-net@usna-net.org A special message from your Moderators... It seems to have slowed down a bit on the lists, so this might be a good time to remind our members of a few things about our list operations and such. ATTACHMENTS The software we use on our server (where we do all of our mailing and keep our web site pages) has been set up to reject ALL attachments to email. We do this deliberately to significantly reduce the risk of a V1RUS being transmitted to our members via the lists. We're sorry that an occasional innocent attachment from a member is rejected but the absolute safety of our lists far outweighs the inconvenience. This is a safety feature we put in place to protect our USNA-Net membership. Other servers have chosen to not use this type of software and rely solely upon their members to have AntiVirus software in place to protect themselves. You may have noticed a few "empty" messages on our lists, lately. These are the empty carrier messages which have been sent to our lists by infected members but which have had their virus infected attachments stripped from them before they went to you. These "empty" messages are benign but they are reflect real attempts by the computers of other infected members to infect our members. Also, please remember that the latest viruses (Klez worms) use the address of someone in the infected computer's address book as the FROM address when they send themselves out so that it is next to impossible to track down where the virus really came from. More below... RICH TEXT FORMAT (RTF) EMAIL Ever since last October, our server has also been removing RTF or HTML coding from all email it sends on to our lists. This takes out all of the bold, italic, embedded images and stationary. Not all of our members are able to read messages which use RTF and for the longest time we had to ask our members to set their email programs to not send in RTF. We no longer have that problem because we now use software that removes the RTF coding automatically before email is relayed to our lists. Just remember that you won't see your pretty stationary in your message to our lists and make allowances for the loss of BOLD and such, when you compose your messages to the lists. FULL MAILBOXES With over 2,000 USNA-Net members and growing like crazy at this time of year, it's bound to happen that a few of you let your mailboxes fill up from time to time. We totally understand how this can happen, especially if you are enrolled on our Plebe list. IF you use a mail service which limits the amount of email you may leave on the system, please make an effort to empty out some of the excess to insure there is room for more incoming email. If your Mailbox fills up, we can no longer send email to you and will get a Delivery Problem Notification for each and every email that our list attempts to send and has returned as undeliverable. Remember that once your mailbox is full you will miss ALL email, not just stuff from USNA-Net but email from everyone, including your Mid. The problem we have is that if your mailbox is full, we can't reach you to tell you to empty it. All we can do is wait to see if your account starts accepting email again. If we keep getting "mailbox full" notices for several days, we will remove your address from our lists until we hear from you again. We don't like doing this but we really have little choice. By the way, if you are an Outlook Express user, you do not have a limit and your mailbox can accept mail until your hard drive fills up which is more mail than we will ever send to you in 20 years as a member. It's those web based services like Juno, Netscape and others which limit you. So please help us to help you. Don't let your mailboxes fill up. ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION We do everything we can to protect our members from viruses. Our lists cannot forward attachments containing viruses so you won't get them from us BUT if you don't have current AV software running on your computer today, it is almost a 100% certainty that you WILL be infected from other sources, if you aren't already infected. We have at least a half dozen members who are infected RIGHT NOW! Every time they turn on their computer they spread their infection to everyone in their address book. Please, please, please... If you don't have CURRENT antivirus software running on your computer right now, go out and get it. It is a lot cheaper (less than $50) than the repair bills WHEN (not if) your computer crashes because of a virus. Other things you can do to lessen the risk... 1.) Never turn off or disable your AV software. 2.) Don't ignore Virus warning from your AV software. 3.) Never open attachments, even if they are from a friend but ESPECIALLY if they are unannounced and have either no message with them or have a short cryptic message in less than perfect grammar. 4.) Turn off the feature that automatically adds everyone to whom you send a message to your address book. If you do get infected this will lessen the number of people to whom you send it. 5.) Clean our your address book. Fewer names means fewer victims if you do get infected. 6.) Make sure you are using the latest version of your AV software. Old, out-dated software is worse than none at all because it gives you a very FALSE sense of security. 7.) Make sure that everyone who uses YOUR computer knows about attachments and their danger. If your spouse or kids are careless, you will still get the infection, no matter how careful YOU are. 8.) Use current, up-to-date Antivirus software all the time. 9.) Use current, up-to-date Antivirus software all the time! 10) Use current, up-to-date Antivirus software ALL THE TIME!!! You get the point. Don't say we didn't warn you. Go Navy Beat army!!!

To all... Just in case you were feeling a little too comfortable this morning, we thought we'd bring you yet another important tidbit of information about V1RUSES and such. The Klez W0RM is running rampant among our members who were foolish enough to not use AntiV1RUS software. Currently we have members who are infected at AOL, Verison, cv.net, rr.com, att.net, and others. They opened an attachment and got the infection. Don't follow in their footsteps. AND DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE FOLLOWING... The following message is now being sent around with THE ORIGINAL VIRUS ATTACHED!!! It is a hoax designed to get you to infect your computer by attempting to install a FAKE fix for the worm. The HOAX message says... -------QUOTE------ Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me. -------END QUOTE------ Please do not be FOOLED by this message. Everything in this message is a LIE !!! The attached files ARE THE VIRUS and not a fix for the virus. Your AV software will warn you for good reasons... The attached files are NOT fake viruses BUT THE REAL THINGS! Bottom Line... DON'T OPEN ANY ATTACHMENT !!! PERIOD. INSTALL and USE current AntiVirus Software today!!! PS. At least a half a dozen of our members are infected as they read this. ARE YOU ONE OF THEM??? Don't dismiss this as something that only happens to others. If you don't have AV software installed or running with CURRENT data, it really could be YOU. You won't dismiss this as someone else's problem when it's YOUR computer that dies on the 6th of next month. (The day, each month, when the Klez virus kills the host computer.)

This from a concerned member... Subject: Lyme Disease Warning Hi Mike and Sandi - Wanted to send this to you as an anonymous posting since my Mid would shoot me if this is traced back. My Mid, now a second class mid, was at Quantico for the first week of her first summer block and is now out in San Diego. While running around the woods at Quantico, along with other mids,my Mid got bitten by ticks. They were warned that this might happen. Since we are from Maryland, we are aware of the danger of contracting Lyme Disease from a tick bite. Sure enough, within a few days of arriving in San Diego, one of the bites developed the red ring. My Mid reported to the medical office there and is now on antibiotics. Again, coming from this region, my Mid was careful to monitor for any symptoms indicating that there might be an infection and was proactive in seeking medical assistance. The goods news is that, if treated early, Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection and is easily cured with no further side effects. The bad news is that if left untreated there can be long-term serious side effects. The early warning signs are a red ring or rash around the bite area followed by flu like symptoms and pain in joints. I am leaving it up to you if you think that our parents should be alerted to this and in turn alert their mids to seek medical treatment quickly if they have been or will go to Quantico for Marine orientation [or any other tall grass or wooded area]. I am especially concerned for those mids who come from other regions of the U.S. were Lyme Disease is not present. An anonymous mom from the Central Eastern Seaboard.

After yesterday's note about the Safe Harbor Program, I'm happy to announce that we had an additional 42 members volunteer to act as Safe Harbor homes for Mids with an emergency away from home. Thanks so much to all who responded. You are already in our database and will be called if there is a Mid in need near you. On a related note, a member suggested that we consider expanding the program to include non-emergencies where a mid could stay for a few days with volunteer parents when traveling away from the Yard. Such a program ALREADY EXISTS. It's called the Local Parents Club. There are a list of club presidents on the web (maintained by the Alumni Association's Parent Coordinator, Jill Montone) which lists all of the local club officers and gives contact information so that you can reach them when you are in their area. Most of the clubs have (either officially or unofficially) a person in charge of coordinating visits of Midshipmen with parents in the area. We have repeatedly seen this done extremely well in various locations across the country when the Glee Clubs or some sports team travel to every corner of this country. My hats off to those clubs who have been lucky enough to host a major event over the past few years and put up between a handful to several dozen Mids who have come to their neck of the woods. We've heard many wonderful stories of delightful Mids sleeping everywhere there was flat space in a member's home because their Parents' Club was hosting a group of Mids. So here is just one more benefit of joining your Local Parents' Club. And if your club doesn't have an official contact / coordinator for such visits, why not volunteer to be that person and set up an official program within your club. I know of no surer way for you to guarantee that you will have Mids staying in your home than by being the Parent in your club who arranges all of that stuff. Your club will love you for it and you will be helping the Brigade the next time any of the Mids travels in your area. Join your local Parents Club TODAY!!!

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTICE... Administrative requests are NOT to be sent to the list address. They are to be sent to the Moderators at Moderator@usna-net.org. Please take a moment to read our Frequently Asked Questions on the web site for answers to all sorts of administrative questions about our lists and how they operate including... How to SUBSCRIBE. How to CHANGE your address in our system. How to ADD or DROP a list. How to ADDRESS email to a particular list. Which lists are for what. and a lot of other common questions. It is unnecessary to inconvenience the entire list membership by sending your subscription request to everyone by addressing it to the main email address of the list. All such requests are to be sent to the moderators at Moderator@usna-net.org. ABOUT OUR LIST STRUCTURE... Everyone belongs to and may write to USNA-Family about things of general interest to the general membership. BUT... Please remember that there are many members who do not wish to participate in either Plebe or Sports or Religious questions and advice. These members of our USNA-Family list have elected to NOT belong to one or more of the other lists: Plebe, Sports, and Prayer. This is why it IMPORTANT to keep Plebe issues on USNA-Plebe, everything related to Sports topics (including Tickets) on USNA-Sports and even the most casual religious references on USNA-Prayer. Remember that ALL of our lists cross the lines between Graduating Classes. For instance... Of the over 1,300 members of USNA-Plebe, only 250 of them are actually '06 parents at this point. The rest are upper-class and even graduate parents who belong in order to pass on advice to other parents. And while I have your attention... Where ARE all the other '06 Parents?????? Have you recruited another '06 Parent yet? When were you going to get around to it? A whole bunch of upper-class parents went out of their way to help you when you were a Plebe parent. Isn't it fair that you put yourself out just a little bit this summer to find and recruit an '06 parent??? Now get to it! Pass on the Tradition!

Sandi and I will be attending I-Day, driving down on Thursday afternoon and returning on Saturday evening. We would ask that you all hold off on any Email Requests for list administration matters until we return. We will be accessing the server and our email while we are in Annapolis but we would like to DELAY any alternations in addresses or list memberships until after our return. For those who will be looking for us, Sandi and I will be at Alumni Hall early in the day, at the Picnic late morning and generally around the Yard all day. We will be joining other USNA-Net members and sponsor parents following the swearing in ceremony to meet with unaccompanied Mids to supply a cell phone to make that last call home. Just tell your Mid to look for all of us near the "Unaccompanied Mids Area" in the center of Stribling Walk. We will be taking lots of pictures to post in the Photo Gallery upon our return. Stay tuned for details on Sunday. Go Navy and Good Luck to the Class of '06.
