Don't Be Fooled by Bogus Viral 'Scanned, No Virus Found' Messages
Users should
be aware that viruses are now routinely including fake "This
message has been scanned for viruses by <fill in well known antivirus
product name here>; no viruses were found." In fact, the messages do have a
virus, notwithstanding their false claim to have been scanned and found virus-free.
Our virus stripping/defanging should handle these viral messages just like all
the other viruses we see, but if you read your email on some other system that
doesn't strip or defang viruses, don't be taken in by the virus writer's
lies.
