Title: VIRUS WARNING
Post by: auntydoxzz on October 07, 2008, 06:00:48 PM
Was tempted to post it in general writings, but its not quite doxie related.

Our department at work has gotten several warnings of viruses from the site  CareerBuilder.com
This is a site apparently to look for jobs on. It did infect some computers in one of our offices and we have been warned by our IT people anyone going to that site recently should update their virus protection right away AND run it!!

Thanks for the heads up.  I've been using that site since August 07 when I was laid off after 29 years.  So far nothing has happened, but I have a Mac.  Don't know if that makes a difference or not.  I'm going to check with an IT person to be sure.  Thanks again.

Gad I am flakey today. I didnt word that quite right, but i think you got the drift of it!!
The site mentioned is the one that has the virus.   Lets just say I deal with our state's job service and they have computers in the offices that people can come in and use to look for work.  Those are the ones that got infected by that site.  Since I think we got about 5 different emails today from both our division and the agency, its a serious issue.

Our agency now has blocked us from entry to the site, they do that with questionable sites, but when they also take the added step to warn us about checking home computers if we have been to the site, it seems to be  a serious issue.
