C I Host's Faulkner Warns of Viruses Quashing Holiday Cheer


What: Beware -- computer viruses and phishing schemes disguised as
season's greetings are on the rise. The Zafi e-mail worm hides
behind subject lines such as "Merry Christmas," "Happy Holidays"
and "Warm Wishes From..." and once unleashed, it exploits Windows
operating systems. This Christmas "Grinch" spreads through
e-mail addresses collected from computers it infects. Online
shopping this season is more popular than ever -- up 25 percent
from last year. Online citizens need to practice precautions to
not fall victim during this busy season.

Who: Internet expert Christopher Faulkner is prepared to discuss
current phishing schemes and computer viruses and how online
citizens can protect themselves.

Faulkner is CEO and founder of C I Host, the largest privately
held Web hosting firm, serving 215,000 clients in 190 countries.

Where: C I Host is centrally located and accessible to both coasts via
the DFW Airport, just a few miles away. Faulkner is available
for in-studio interviews given advance notice.

When: December 21, 2004
C I Host is on Central time, but Faulkner is prepared to work
around the schedules of media producers, assignments editors and
writers.
