When the Anna Kournikova virus went around, some idiot opened up the attachment and screwed up the network. After days of cleaning out the network - including refusing all new emails, the system comes back up and the same user opens the file again and re-infects the network. Why did he do it? Because he didn't get to see the picture the first time! (Thank God I don't work there! The sysadmin should have been shot for not installing sufficient protection after the first outbreak, but the user's stupidity was also criminal!) I do work at a place, though, where I'm regularly told such things as, "I thought it was a virus so I opened it up." Guess, what? They were right! Why can't we chlorinate the gene pool?
