Grobbins got a virus!
Grobbins got a virus!
Neener, neener, neener!
Well, it is about time for a little public humiliation of the "no-
clues" that click on an attachment.
Unfortunately, Grobbins has helped to propagate a potentially
harmful virus/worm because he:
1. Did not have antivirus software up-to-date, AND
2. Opened an unsafe attachment from a source he did not really
recognize.
Sorry, but if we are going to limit these virus/worm attacks, we are
all going to have to be smarter. For a techie to fall for one of
these is embarrassing.
(Minor sympathy:) Some of these worms have been masquerading as
email bounces. It is very tempting to open the attachment, to see
which of your messages did not get delivered. CHECK THE TYPE! If
it is not .eml, it is not email.
OK, who else wants to be humiliated?

P.S. Grobbins probably doesn't even know he has started this
thread. But if he has an excuse other than "sorry", we could
probably all learn from it. (Hint, hint :)
P.P.S. Who wants to bet the moderator will trash this thread in
about 2 hours? I do! The only topical connection is that we are
all supposedly a little more tech-savy than the median computer user.
