MiMail virus

2004-01-28 21:10:19.977798+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Aaargh. I'm getting roughly 15 an hour of the MiMail virus to my home account, and I thought we were home-free at the office until this morning when my work account started getting flooded. A request: If you're a sales manager who was silly enough to click on the damned attachment without knowing what it is, and I unplug your laptop from the net, and I then ask you to log on again, do not complain that your laptop is not connected to the net until I have determined that your computer is no longer spewing random mail that insults your clients. That is all. Thank you.

100/hour here, after a peak tuesday of 500/hour -- if that makes you feel any better.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
