Definitely, have your workstations scanned by any of PCClin, Mcafee,
Norton. You may install their Linux version of antivirus and integrate it
with your MTAs. Evaluation copies can save you for a month..

YUP!!!! I think that there really is an outbreak. I have users here coming
to me left and right saying that they cannot access their computers right
after logging in. I found the SIRC32 file, deleted it from the Windoze
registry, and voila! Login galore!!!
Only problem is, I think the virus is using up my bandwidth to do send
e-mails to everybody in the users address book... just like... what can i
do? i have users complaining all over???
