MyDoom Update
For more than five days in a row last week, I received 350+ emails per day as a result of the MyDoom virus. I'm happy to report that my Inbox is no longer feeling the effects of MyDoom. MyDoom had a greater impact on my computing than any other virus. Along these lines, this NY Times article may interest you:
Geeks Put the Unsavvy on Alert: Learn or Log Off. Here's a quote from the article: "The tension over the MyDoom virus underscores a growing friction between technophiles and what they see as a breed of technophobes who want to enjoy the benefits of digital technology without making the effort to use it responsibly. The virus spreads when Internet users ignore a basic rule of Internet life: never click on an unknown e-mail attachment. Once someone does, MyDoom begins to send itself to the names in that person's e-mail address book. If no one opened the attachment, the virus's destructive power would never be unleashed."
