since reading about this message from Telestra Ive had 2 attacks so advertising the date of 14/10/13 might not have been such a good idea. Thankfully Kaspersky was on the case. Took nearly an hour to quarantine and kill this Trojan that attached itself to RealTime. Telstra News 9:49 AM (2 hours ago) to angela.wilcox2 Trouble viewing this email? Click here to view the email online Telstra - Its how we connect Telstra Internet Security Update WERE HELPING MAKE THE INTERNET A SAFER PLACE Did you know that some electronic viruses can infect your computer without you knowing, and can cause other issues on the internet? How can an infected computer cause such problems? If your computer has been infected by one of these viruses, it might be helping to damage websites or to send spam emails or infections to others, including people you know. It can also slow down your internet connection and use up your data allowance. To do this, a virus on your computer connects with a server (known as a Command and Control server) and the Command and Control Server can then use your computer to carry out these malicious activities. What Telstra is doing to help From 14th October 2013, new software will be added on our network to help identify when a virus on a computer (or other device) connected to the BigPond network attempts to contact its Command and Control Server. The new technology will stop that connection, which in turns stops the virus from being able to carry out attacks. The service does not involve the monitoring of your personal information, it only looks for internet traffic resulting from the activity of viruses on our customers computers. Read more about how the service works . What do I need to do? When we turn the service on, you wont notice anything different with your internet connection. While the software will help prevent certain viruses from spreading across the internet, we recommend that you install security software, if you havent already, to help protect your computer from viruses and other infections. If you already have security software, make sure its turned on and that its up-to-date. Turn on automatic updates if possible. Read more about how to avoid infections .
