Gee Whizz Golly Mistar, Its another Big Bad Virus Alert!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3432639.stm
*sigh*
Symantec must be laughing all the way to bank. Every time that the sales start running a little low, they just generate a new virus threat and tell all the world news websites about it.
Before you know it, every idiot that randomly runs attachments is scuttling off to their website to download the latest patches and pay £60 for their product.
Fear Sells!

Re: Gee Whizz Golly Mistar, Its another Big Bad Virus Alert!
I don't think it's an empty threat. Several of the windows boxes inside my company's firewall became infected with the myDoom virus/worm this morning and have been bombarding the rest of the company (even those of us not using windows) with infected mail.

Re: Gee Whizz Golly Mistar, Its another Big Bad Virus Alert!
I have yet to be infected with a virus.
Also, I've never run a Norton or Symantec program. Not since back in the early 90's when Norton Commander was a good way to work in DOS.

Clearly your Office Network sucks. I setup ours to filter out any exectuable and script attachment.
People email me saying they couldn't open an attachment that someone sent them cause it blocked and I say, of course it is. If you opened it the office wouldn't be happy.
Imagine me, protecting the stupid.

Re: Gee Whizz Golly Mistar, Its another Big Bad Virus Alert!
This is why if you take a few minutes to Use the internet you'll find their are people who do not believe we should have to pay to have our pc's protected from virus's and spy bots etc.
It's nice and easy to protect your pc for nothing if you actually look about.
