I received an email from one of our suppliers at work the other day, warning me of a virus doing the rounds. They warned me of a nasty virus based upon a Budweiser frog screensaver and how not to download it but please pass this on to all your friends as it is a new alert and we should make everyone aware blah blah blah…
This hoax has been around for years, I mean years, all it does it take up bandwidth and put people in a state of panic; is my Norton up to date!
However, this morning I came into work to find out I was a naughty boy yesterday and according to the FBI I was logged on serval ‘suspect’ websites, wow not bad given I was at home. Anyway, it was so bad that the postmaster at the FBI decided to send me the details over 82 times in an email, thanks. Now I’ve just had another 75 emails from db dot com sending me my password details, now this time I’m getting fed up, these emails all had nasty little virus’ in and each time one came through Norton popped up, 'We found a virus’ clever little thing. Not really, if it were that clever it would not lock up the system and prevent me from working until a had given him a little pat on the head and sent him off to look for more, or pressed the little 'Finish’ button. 75 times! Man, I miss my Mac. Please, Sage, make a Mac version of your accounts' software.
