RE: [ OT] Special security Alert!

[ColdFusion Developer]

I was one of the few who was getting slammed with those emails from 
 
the SWEN.A worm. Now today I am happy once again to say I am  
 
still using Microsoft Outlook 2002 and am no longer receiving them. 
 
  
 
What I did was the following: 
 
  
 
  
 
Updated Windows with all updates 
 
   (  http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com 
  ) 
 
  
 
Updated Microsoft Office with all updates  
 
  (  http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/default.aspx ) 
 
  
 
Updates McAfee Virus scan with all updates. 
 
  
 
  
 
Make sure that you install all patches to MS Office to include 
 
Service Pack (SP3).

Please stop giving advice on "how not being infected", the problem is NOT 
here.  
  
  
I just wanted to know if others here are receiving about 250 copies a day of 
tha 
t virus?  
  
If yes, it is probably that the virus is able to get our addresses in our 
mail ( 
those using Outlook of course).  
If not, it must be from another source.  
  
  
I called my ISP yesterday, and "No we don't filter messages for virus, 
because o 
f the overhead it would represent on our servers, it is a management 
decision."  
I wonder if this "manager" ever considered that 18 meg of garbage in a 
mailbox c 
ould also constitute some "overhead"? ;-))
