These things are making a mess everywhere. DO NOT OPEN ANY WEIRD MESSAGES. DO NOT OPEN ANYTHING WITH AN ATTACHMENT.

4. My office just got hit by a virus disguised as a ZIP file

Shut down a server. This is a highly secure system, and it still got in. Beware.

5. That's the virus. Mydoom.f

I am going on 15 hours now. It doesn't shut down servers, but it deletes files. Either your security is blocking the server or they shut it down manually.

6. They shut it down I think

So it wouldn't spread to the other offices - it just hit one of our offices so far.

7. I can't

Symantec shut down my virus updates and wants $50 for more of them.

I guess I'll just have to forward all my e-mail to Symantec.
