It's making the rounds again, I've had a lot of users asking about this lately. Instead of chastising them, I have been trying to take this opportunity to educate them. First, I point out that they should never follow instructions to delete files or do other such things from emails. They should always check with our department before doing anything like that.
Second, I point out that if the virus was so easy to delete and the email is traveling around the Internet why in the world would companies that make their living from writing programs to catch this stuff NOT be able to do anything about it. That makes no sense. Lastly, if they have contacted me before they did anything, I thank them. They used their head and they saved me and themselves some grief. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Parkey [mailto:chuck.parkey@;creativeteaching.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 10:58 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: VERY IMPORTANT!!!
