Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event ! ' From: Ralph Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 10:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: vipre: SVCHOST.EXE virus. 1) possibly they have or created an account they used for that purpose but don't use it as a means of communication. 2) we are talking about people with mental illnesses, severe emotional problems and social disabilities, people who come from broken homes, abusive parents, severe poverty... how do they expect to be taken seriously because they don't use email??? Often we are trying to get them to understand the necessity to bathe if they wan't to stay employed. We do a lot of work with teenagers and young adults. To a lot of them, and this is increasingly true of a lot of younger people, email is kind of a quant old fashioned way to communicate. They text, they instant message, they chat on social networking sites, but email is for old people. _____ From: Mike Gill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 5:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: vipre: SVCHOST.EXE virus. How does 1) someone sign up to Facebook without an email account and 2) expect to be taken seriously AT ALL telling someone FB is the only way they communicate with people? -- Mike Gill From: Ralph Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 1:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: vipre: SVCHOST.EXE virus. Wouldn't bother me, but the last time I did it the HR department complained because they use Facebook for recruiting, and a lot of our vocational counselors complained. We are a non-profit that provides various services for people with physical and mental disabilities, or have difficulty gaining employment and or housing due to other disadvantages. Many clients don't have email but do all of their electronic communication through sites like Facebook (which seems to be the trend now especially among our younger clients). So Facebook is the means by which a lot of our staff keep in contact with their clients. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin Confidentiality Notice: ****************** This communication, including any attachments, may contain confidential information and is intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
