Virus outbreak
It was a shock for me on Friday afternoon after receiving one hundred notice of virus outbreak from my personal computer at work and my PC has been blocked! It never happened before. First thing I did was to quickly disconnect myself from our network. The only way that I can do it fastest is to unplug the cat5 cable. Then called up our IT department and inform them about the problem. I thought I were the only one as the lady in IT department didn’t receive any notice from the virus scanner, but it turns out that all our PC in our section are infected and bombarded with the virus alert notice.
The next thing was some PC on the level 3 also got it! But it was getting late and everyone is preparing to leave the office thus they are shutting down their PC. So with that, the IT department won’t be able to trace which PC is really the culprit. I got confirmation from the IT department and plug back the cat5 cable, just click “ok” on those notices and resume surfing. I don’t know if it has anything to do with Cat5e patch cable or there simply is someone downloading things from the Net and got infected with virus. Only Monday then the IT department can do their hunt. Finger cross that my PC is not the culprit.
