Londhouse is not a virus; it is a hoax or a misleading e-mail message that warns users not to visit the Altavista search engine, as they might get infected with a virus called Londhouse.

Londhouse tries to gain the user’s trust by citing Jhon Karlson, a pretigious editor from a news agency called Interfax. Its aim is to cause alarm and get users to forward the message.

In order to avoid problems, disregard this information, as it is completely false. You should also immediately delete the message, without forwarding it to anyone.

Londonhouse arrives in an apparently normal e-mail message, but which can be identified by its message. The message text always refers to a virus called Londhouse, which is supposed to have infected Altavista servers, thereby causing all users visiting this search engine to get infected.
