BadTrans

BadTrans is out there and looking quite active, at least based on the number of infected emails I’ve seen come bouncing into our network here at work. We did have one person get infected, two days after I posted a warning about it, and instructions on dealing with it, which is quite frustrating. Turns out he wasn’t in the office to get the warning, so he read the warning right after he opened the infected email. I do have Outlook setup to prompt before running or downloading attachments, but I’m guessing he breezed by that prompt. Oh well, it was fairly easy to clean up following the instructions on Symantec’s site. I did, however, have to eat lunch at my desk while I worked on it, which doesn’t do much for my mood. 🙂
