PC Virus

I am getting tired of PC viruses and the losers who perpetrate them. I'm not awed by their knowledge and ability to develop a new virus, rather I'm ****** off that I, and the people I work with, fall further and further behind in work because of them.

What kind of sick, pathetic mind develops a virus to infect a Company's network, and threatens peoples' ability to do their jobs? I've got more security patches on my machine than loaded SW, and today we're fighting another virus.

I don't get it.
:mad:

I don't get it neither bud...i work in IT support and not a day goes by without someone's machine getting 'infected' - mostly by dodgy emails and users curiousity.

It's an pain in the *** which will never go away.

Did you hear the one about the Anti Virus companies creating these viruses to make you buy their products...lol!

Your machine clean bud?

Xko - Yeah its clean. I'm so paranoid I "preview" almost every message that I get in. But it is frustrating. The time I spend wasting work time on this stuff could be better spent here in Golf Rewind! :)

Viruses being developed by anti-virus companies? Wouldn't surprise me.

I sense your frustration pal...you're right to check before opening.

Take 10 seconds to check and it could save you hours of misery!

As your parents probably told you..."it's better to be safe than sorry!" ;)
