Spam!
The Wherever School e-mail server was flooded with virus spam yesterday. Spam, spam, spam! It came in the form of an e-greeting card supposedly from Hallmark. I didn't even open it; I marked it Spam and blocked the incoming address.
Incidentally, if you've ever sent me an electronic greeting card, I never got it--I always delete them unread because so many of them are spam, viruses, or both.
And then another one showed up. And another, and another, and another. I spam-marked them all and deleted them unopened, more than a little annoyed.
We all later got a warning e-mail from IT that said, "Don't open the attachment! It's a virus."
A couple of people in the building did open them and discovered to their horror that the thing hijacked their web browser and turned it into popup city. Bleah!
