Hello everyone. I was hit with a combination.
3 in one. My Norton didn't pick it up till after the damage was done.
My thoughts is this. We know that this virus came someone on all our list.
How did it get all our addresses?
How do we prepare ourselves for the next time.
It sadden me that some folks don't have anything better to do.
Suggestion:
If you receive an attachment. Delete it. Then Empty your trash folder.
This is the Best way to end this madness.
Nobody is at fault. Just the idiot who like to send viruses.
