new level of virus protection

[bdunn]

I support computers at an army medical center and thought that I had seen everything till the other day. I got a call from a nurse about a virus problem. Well since this installation has a site license to Mcafee Antivirus i figured it just needed installing and running on the particular pc and that would be the end. I went to see the customer and there she was in her scrubs, mask, rubber gloves and all working on the computer. She insisted I dress similarly as she told me viruses can get through the clothing I was wearing. I tried in vain to explain to her that the chances of either of us getting a Word macro virus from her pc was nil.

ROTFLMAO!

Thats funny. I have never met anybody like that. Thank god... I'd probably kill them. or die laughing.

I was wondering what was going on here. Hey Rad, did you figure out how to search for every topic to which you had never responded? :D

No, I just got really bored.......so I decided to dig up some of the really old topics that noone ever replied to. Sorry if it bothered you guys. ;)

No bother at all. In fact I do the same sometimes but don't reply as there is no real reason to (but that has never stopped me before :D :D :)

No bother other than that flashback effect of recognizing some posts from the 'olden days' around here.
:D :D :D

[Radical Dreamer]

Thats cool, just making sure that it didnt bother anyone.

Ever laughed your *** off in front of your mom? My mother's a (L)user AND a nurse. When our computer got a virus, well, you can guess can't you.

I work for in the financial industry (tech for them) and I have users infect their files all the time. They discovered that they could right-click on the V-scan shield and disable it, then, why would word ask you to enable macros if you weren't supposed to?

Training has had no effect... I haven't fould a legal way to implement the cattle prod yet.

Hey twelve, Norton Antivirus Corporate edition ver 7.5 will hook you right up with that problem. Users won't be able to shut it down. Set it up for real time scan and a dialy full scan during lunch break. Just a thought....sounded like a problem. :p

[MacGyver]

InoculateIT has a similar feature. 60 seconds after shutting down their realtime scanner, the server automatically boots them off the network! It doesn't take more than once for the luser to learn.
