Thread: Att IT gurus

Why anyone would open a file unless it came from a trusted source and even then after it had passed their virus checker software is beyond me!

Everyone who sends me emails knows not to send junk or joke stuff. Immediately gets deleted.

Considering how many of these things are out there/have been out there and how well warned we are of them perhaps if your silly enough to be opening them you should be staying away from the computer!

Working in the IT industry for the last 11 years i have had the displeasure to deal with most types of virus's/worms/trojan/malware/adware there is, theres no sure way to avoid it all, but things like extremely obvious emails such as this shouldnt even be a factor any more, Now im sure most would admit to how boring email would be without all the funny pics and jokes etc, im sure no one who has spent any significant time using email/internet would be opening them from someone they didnt know....

....and as for those people silly enough to forward the "chain emails" because microsoft will give you 100 dollars/it will bring you luck for 7 days/you wish will come true/you will save 10 starving children in africa/jessica alba will jump out of your computer and do pleasurable things to you/etc etc etc i think its time to wake up and smell the capacitors burning, its a computer not a crystal ball!!

Chain emails are just there to fill up emaill account in around the world.
