First, decide whether your job description involves fulfilling the
uninformed whims of this particular user. After that's decided, figuring
out what to do will be easy.
I once had a user that _insisted_ that the "I love You" virus was
modyfying the links on her Pagemaker documents and changing her graphics
file types from Tiffs to Jpgs. She was trying to cover for the fact the she
wasn't doing the work that everyone thought she was doing. So, I relented
and examined the script directly. Due to a weird twist of events and some
carelessness on my part, I ended up infecting myself with the virus. I went
directly to my boss and told him that this is probably the first and last
time that I was going to deliver an ulitmatum, but viruses were too
dangerous to play around with just because someone needed an ego
masturbation session.
Your mileage may vary

Subject: Quick question
Stupid question of the day.
I have a user who has been given instructions to place a !000 address in her
address book to stop all worm's from spreading in via her outlook client.
Beyond the fact that I told her this was insane, and oh by the way we have
not been infected by a worm virus since we got the "I Love You" (great way
to get A/V funds), she now has her department convinced that this is the way
to go and wants to have this put in all their address books. I know that
this won't hurt anything, however now they want it added to the GAL and I am
saying no, no, no!!!!! They want proof this won't work. I said prove it
will work, they need more grease in their wheels, so now I am stuck proving
it won't work. I can't find this on any of the web sites and am hoping that
someone might know of a good link.
Thanks
Jeff
