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’m seriously interested in hearing different views on this one. What do you think of a interviewee taking notes during a job interview? What does it say about him/her? Does it make you assume that they are very serious about investigating and remembering all the details of this job, or does it interfere with holding…

    Perfect way to start a Monday: Being introduced to the new employee that no one bothered to tell you about, and having to explain to her that she doesn’t even have a computer to use yet because no one told you she was starting. Oh joy! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    I spent almost 6 hours at work today. Ugh. I managed the get all the last Norton installs done and that’s off my plate. I managed to get all the new PC’s documented and entered into the helpdesk/specs database, and I tried a number of things to get those USB Dual PS/2 adapters but it’s…
