At 10:30:43 my systems rebooted after installing hotfix Windows 2000 Hotfix
KB823980 was installed and machines rebooted.  Any ideas on how to remove
this or what it may be?

 Considering the amount of email traffic generated by responding to 
 forged  virus laden email from culprits like sobig should email virus 
 scanning systems be configured to send notifications back to sender or
not?

well if you dont tell them they wont know, altho with sobig the return
address 
is false anyhow

it would probably be best to cache the sender/virus combinations and send a 
single message per 7 days

Yes, this is totally true.  But my point was that being helpful is more
efficient than pure cattiness (which could translate into arrogance *gasp*).
Enough of that goes on on this list, and in any case, while we're busy
sneering about our ignorant users, we could at least help out our own.
You know?  

Have a good one!
Cheers,
Cade

You *do* have to admit  it's an unusual combination of skills to:

a) have enough clue to get subscribed to NANOG-post
*AND*
b) not be able to identify Windows Messenger spam

Sorry folks, my last message being sent to the list was my fault - this
topic has long gone off-list.
Again, apologies.
