I came in and suddenly I have 50 messages all with attachment from people in the company who would never send out jokes. We just upgrade to outlook and the 1st thing I said was "we're upgrading to the one that get all the virus?? Smart" A month later look what happens. Dumbass

My company had one like that earlier this year. All you can do is sit back and wait for the IT guys to fix it. There's always new ones around and new ways of getting hit by them.

Also, you should blame the dumbasses that actually opened the infected email. When the "I Love You" virus was going around, only 2 or 3 people in my entire company were gullible enough to open it.

Weapon X,

There are some viruses that can get into Outlook or Outlook Express and will send themselves to everyone on your email list without the message being opened.
