Users of McAfee Anti-Virus Software:
McAfee released a new update wherein it pattern matches the NetDotCom Internet Dialer to the Backdoor.AKZ trojan. The dialer is not
actually infected, but McAfee will delete the .EXE anyway.
NetDotCom is working with McAfee to release a new update that will not mark the software as a virus.

Virus Alert
There is a mass e-mail going around that claims to be from NetDotCom. It says that your NetDotCom has detected a virus and that you must click a link in order to stop the NetDotCom from closing your account. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
It is probably either a virus or a scam. Although we are not aware of any of our customers receiving the spoof at this time, a lot of ISPs are reporting this problem and it could happen to you. Please keep in mind that we cannot
stop these e-mails. They are coming from someone else. It is similar to trying to stop someone from putting your return address on regular postal mail and sending it out. On a related note,
