Virus alert!

System

This latest e-mail virus has a sinister twist to it. Our HRhero.com e-mail system isn't infected, but several people have received infected e-mail messages that LOOK LIKE they're from us even though they're not. If you receive suspicious e-mail that claims to be from me or Christy or Customer Service, delete it.

Here's why this virus is a pain. Let's say Don's computer gets infected. His computer e-mails the virus to Paul, but the e-mail looks like it came from me. Or it e-mails the virus to Christy, but it looks like it came from Paul. Sneaky. Here's a more detailed explanation if you're interested:

Earlier today, infected computers across the country were e-mailing the virus to me at a rate of one every 10 seconds. Now it's slowed down to less than one per minute. I guess that's the price of popularity. (Hah!)

Beware of subject lines such as "Thank you!" "Re: Advice" and "Wicked Screensaver". A group I'm affiliated with got hit hard by the virus & my mailbox was full of the above subjects - every single one of them was a virus.

Me too! Boy is it a pain!

I feel so lucky we have great "techies" here. Our virus scan has popped out every one of these for me which I am getting at a rate of about 3-4 a minute.

Yup, I started getting these yesterday - must have deleted 60 of them from 11:00 am on. So far, only two have come in today. Most of mine looked like they came from government entities, but one appeared to have come from a former fellow employee!

Okay, I think I get the prize. I have been on the road for the last three days only to return and find I had 2,300 e-mails! Took me hours to clean out my mail box!

My WebEditor account has received more than 5,000 e-mail messages in the past few days, most of them viruses. At least I've stopped griping about spam.
