thanks. more of our systems are coming down. it looks like we did pick up a blaster virus and maybe the lovesan thing as well. I'm patching and updating several systems right now with MacAfee Stinger (Avert) application & windows updates/patches. our IT department is swamped. today is turning out to be a total disaster. my computer, so far, is untouched but I'd just updated/patched not too long ago so hopefully I'm safe. /gl -----Original Message----- From: Paul Winkfield [mailto:paladin007@xxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 1:56 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: OLE ?? ReHi Glenda Viruses do not affect Novell servers (that's why I love their technology - I'm Novell admin), but can be passed on to PCs. they'll have to look into it or you run the anti-virus checker at workstations to see if it's the problem, blaster won't bother Win98/95 either.... I am currently having email and net problems with my ISP, everything running slow...may be the 2nd blaster wave hitting the servers. hang in there 3hrs of workday left! <paul> Glenda said: Our network guys say nothing has been done. Last week we did have a power problem but most of us are on UPS so don't think it's related. We share emails and my system is clean which is why I don't think it's a virus but, IT says they may be affected with a blaster virus. I looked on MacAfee site and don't see our symptoms there. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to=20 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
