<Sigh>...
It started around 1030 when the IT chief wandered in asked WT??? I was up to. Huh, as I flipped over to my email and then to the off-site spam and virus filter service we use. Yep, a slew of stuff from the teaching gig... So I called the lead administrative assistant out there and confirmed she knew they'd opened up another virus.
I have internal email from the second job forwarded to my main account so I can keep up with things since I'm so part time this semester. I could actually watch the progression of the virus by reading the headers from the forwards. First Robb opened it; then Marilyn; then...
...and if history repeats itself, I'll see another spate of them tomorrow or the next day; the last time this happened, IT came out from the main campus and cleaned up all the machines. ...as they were configured. ...and missed the server and the fact that some of us share machines and log in only one day per week. So when Stephanie gets in on Thursday and sees that Robb has sent her this really neat screen saver...
Symanec's removal tool is here.
Yeah, this type of thing is normally posted over on the main site, but this one is virulent enough to warrant sharing the information here also.
...and if I have a screen saver for you, I'll post it and link it.
G'night...
