Increase in Viral Emails…
Ever since Saturday, there’s been a huge uptick in the number of viral emails coming into the server. It seemed oddly to originate exclusively in Australia, but by Sunday night most of the mails coming in were from various US netblocks.
I’m pretty sure anyone reading this blog has more sense than to click on an attached file they weren’t expecting, but just in case…don’t. Make sure you maintain your anti-viral software (AVG gives theirs away, others are available inexpensively) and update it frequently, and (much as I hate to say it) make sure Microsloth’s “Auto Update” feature is turned ON on home machines (businesses should follow their company’s protocol).
Remember, if you don’t become infected, you can’t send me these bothersome viral emails. ;)
