Somebody’s screwed..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Given just the vast number of virus emails that hit one of our users’ inboxes this morning, I would guess that someone he knows managed to get a virus. But upon further inspection, and the realization that there are copies of Klez, Hybris, and maybe some other one’s floating around in those messages, I’m thinking that someone he knows is completely screwed right about now, and maybe even some other folks who were part of the orginal loop of virus attachments are screwed now too.

Our ISP caught and stripped all of the attachments. Yay for them! 🙂

Can someone please teach end-users to not open screensaver attachments?

    I hate days like today, days where I get just about everything accomplished early, and it’s too late to really get into anything new, so I just sit and wait for it to be the weekend. I’m definitely feeling like the next 2 hours will be about the longest in my life! On the other…
