Virus warning
I rarely do this but once every few years a systems issue comes along that is worthy to post. I have spent several LONG days this week working with two clients that had major issues as result of a virus (Trojan) that significantly damaged their operations.
The virus installs, attacks files, with an encryption scheme, then lets you know you have 72 hours to pay several hundred dollars to be able to restore your files.
Both clients received this after I told them not to open specific emails and to send to all staff - staff then opened emails and infected machines.
Short version, don't open email complaints from BBB, UPS tracking, Nigerian Finance Ministers, etc... Update your computers at least weekly, your virus daily, your Java and Your flash, weekly...
This one is nasty
