| Server Upgrade
|
Rossini.com is pleased to announce that we are upgrading our hosting service to a faster more secure location. This move will allow us to better serve and support our customers. We are moving our server to a facility with faster access which will increase the speed for web page loading, email downloads, and our database functions. In addition, the new facility will have emergency power backup with automatic generator power in case of a power failure. We will also be enhancing our procedure for data backup.
Currently, we store data for 7 days with weekly off site storage. With the new facility, our backup will increase to 30 days of data, and daily off site storage. With this new capability, we will have the ability to restore critical data or files for up to 30 days. The facility has many other features as well.
The move of our server will take place this weekend. We have made advance plans so that any downtime will be minimal. If there is any interruption of service at all, it will be after business hours on Friday, February 25th. We thank all of our customers for putting your trust in Rossini.com, and appreciate your patience as we make this critical move to enhance our customer support.

| VIRUS ALERTS

The W32/Mydoom.bb@MM is a Medium Risk mass-mailing worm that carries the dangerous BackDoor-CEB.f Trojan, which tries to disable regular anti-virus updating and also help a remote user hijack an infected machine. The worm spreads using stolen email addresses harvested from the victim PC and search engine queries. Watch out for messages pretending to be fake bounces from Postmaster or Mail Administrator.
What should I look for?
# FROM: Spoofed.
# SUBJECT: Examples: delivery failed, Message could not be Delivered, Mail System Error - Returned Mail
# BODY: Example: We have received reports that your account was used to send a large amount of junk email messages during the week.
# ATTACHMENT: Examples: README, INSTRUCTION, TRANSCRIPT TEXT.ZIP
How do I know if I've been infected?
When run, the worm installs itself as JAVA.EXE in the Windows directory: C:\WINDOWS\JAVA.EXE
