You know what's even more maddening Ed? There's nothing you can do about it from a sysadmin point of view. Blocking exe's is one thing, but blocking zips? Unrealistic. Blocking attachments altogether? Even worse.

Something annoying praying on people's stupidity (I completely agree with that) that cannot be stopped because people refuse to learn. :evil:

Not for nothing, but even though the "virus" is relatively simple, the people who thought of it really are pretty clever. They exploited the greatest security vulnerability in existence: Human Stupidity. :iamwithstupid:
