Okay, today has just become surreal and hysterically funny.
This morning, M. read a news story about a new virus. Part of its payload is to delete files (trying to get rid of your antivirus), so it sounded fairly nasty. I considered sending a warning to our people, and didn't, because the message was so amazingly stupid I figured we were safe.
Well. Color me stupid. So far, known to have been infected by the virus: a VP, a programmer, some person I don't know their place in the org, and ONE OR MORE PEOPLE who use our SUPPORT email. Yes, the people who are supposed to send us virus warnings.
*sigh* By the way, if you're curious about the little monster, the writeup is here.
Read it, and see why I thought no one would run it. Geesh.
Update: They've removed the text. The subject is HI, attachment is "gone.scr", and the text is:
How are you ?
When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you
I am in a harry, I promise you will love it!
Mmmhmm.

Heh. Color me suspicious.
Looks like a semi-nasty if you run it, though. :/
