The Bagle virus is in full swing and affecting a lot of users on the Internet. Some users may have received e-mail that is purportedly from BattlestarGalacticaClub.com. Falsified e-mail addresses may include:

- administration@BattlestarGalacticaClub.com
- noreply@BattlestarGalacticaClub.com
- staff@BattlestarGalacticaClub.com
- support@BattlestarGalacticaClub.com

The false e-mail may state:

Dear user of "BattlestarGalacticaClub.com" mailing system,

- Your e-mail account will be disabled because of improper use in the next three days
- Your e-mail account has been temporarily disabled because of unauthorized access
- Our antivirus software has detected a large amount of viruses outgoing from your e-mail account
- Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account

And infected e-mail attachments may include:

- .exe
- .pif
- .scr

We recommend that you utilize the latest version of McAfee VirusScan to protect yourself from viruses. There is also Norton AntiVirus, however it has built-in "product activation" copyright enforcement code similar to Windows XP. Reputable virus protection software should be your first line of defense against web and e-mail viruses.

It is very important to remember the following:

BattlestarGalacticaClub.com DOES NOT send out e-mail attachments. PERIOD. If you receive an e-mail that is purportedly from BattlestarGalacticaClub.com and it contains an e-mail attachment, DELETE IT! Any e-mail attachment from any user should be considered suspect, as this is the primary means of virus infection. But if it is an e-mail attachment from BattlestarGalacticaClub.com, DO NOT open it and delete it immediately. We NEVER send out e-mail attachments.

If you have any questions, be sure to contact the Webmaster at:

Webmaster@BattlestarGalacticaClub.com
