"Watch out for the new nasty email Trojan horse that sneaks into the backdoor of your computer pretending to be a friend with photo attachments, but instead steals data from your computer," warns Christopher Faulkner, CEO C I Host.

"Every holiday season thousands of innocent people let their guard down and become victims of Internet scams and viruses that wreak havoc on their computer and business," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. "The latest Trojan is known as Sysbug (www.f-secure.com/v-descs/sysbug.shtml) and gives its creator a backdoor into infected systems running Windows from 95 through XP versions. It copies itself to the Windows installation folder and adds a new registry entry that ensures the virus will run every time the computer starts up."

Faulkner reminds users to keep their anti-virus definitions and programs software updated and to back up valuable business information weekly on a disc or another hard drive.
