You have NO idea how gullable people can be. Despite the fact that hoaxs
like this have ben circulating for years and we have made every effort to
inform and educate staff there are STILL users out there who INSIST on
opening EVERY single attachment they receive.

Their excuse? "Oh, I thought the Virus Scanner would catch it!"

I personally think it can all be solved with a simple solution...



...Arm the IT staff and let them shoot those who do stupid things like this.



And lets not limit this to just virus related idiocy. I think an umbrella of
IT-related stupid-user tricks should be subject to random acts of violence.
The serious offenders will be quickly dealt with and eliminated. The rest
will rapidly fall into line like the sheep they are!


Hehehe, Sigh.... To live in such a world.... LOL

And for those who really do lack a sense of humour, this was a CLEAR
attempted at illiciting a chuckle or two from those folks who do.

Have a good weekend!

Dave

Well, has everyone gotten their 'security' pack from -

"Microsoft Network Technical Assistance" <[log in to unmask]>

Mine had the Gibe virus.  I am amazed 'Microsoft' would be so careless as to
propagate a virus like this.

Or maybe it wasn't Microsoft?

You would think the perpetrators of this hoax would have gotten the message
by now?  But I suppose there is always a chance it can catch one or two.
