Or... Install Linux
An option the Microsoft commentator didn't mention! Migrate file, print and web servers to Linux. My experience is that once set up they are extremely reliable, require minimal maintenance, and are not vulnerable to the current flood of email borne viruses. In many cases Linux can also work on the desktop greatly simplifying the management of IT risk, although not in all cases.
Anyone had this yet???
I received this email this morning....
" Sony DSC-F828 8.0MP Digital Camera.
Your order # 12405 has been accepted for the amount 840.00$. Your card will be charged in that amount. Thank you for your purchase.
You can check the order in your profile.
If anyone else has a similar one, don't click on the link - grebudergin.com does not exist - you will be sent to a webpage which will download a Bloodhound.Exploit virus which then leads to a Downloader.Psyme virus, which fortunately my Nortons A/Virus caught.
A salutory lesson, and I like to feel I am careful with these things, but I suppose in my panic that someone had debited my credit card with a fictitious order made me lower my guard.
Me too !
John,
I received the same email, plus a number of variants, but SpamPal (free from spampal.org) picked them all up as spam, so until I looked in my spam bucket I never saw them !. I tried a number of spamming products over the years and for a free product SpamPal seems to pick up everything.
With respect ot Anti-Virus I am a convert to NOD32.....29 VB100% Awards....the most of any product out there (or so say Virus Bulletin - not NOD32 nor I!).......of course we re-sell it, but we were very sceptical of its claims and now regularly clean machines infected with viruses\trojans let in whilst using other well-known products
Kind Regards
