Despite sending info updates to the ENTIRE company, my COO sent that out to everyone in his lists! I told him if he did it again, I would shutoff his spam filtering :-) And despite me informing ALL of our employees 3, three, 3, times they still come in once and a while and inform me about the new virus with the teddy bear icon they deleted from all the machines in their dept.
