[WEB4LIB] Two interesting articles dealing with viruses and I E/Outlook

[Drew, Bill]

The article about Outlook has a core of truth to it.  The problem is it does
not mention the fact that groups using Outlook with the Exchange server can
use virus protection software on it.  It does mention that if websites had
updated the security fixes put out by Microsoft the spread of the virus
would not have been so bad. 

Users must take some responsibility in this latest incident.  Banning
Outlook is short sighted if not impossible to do. Teach users not to
download files even when a webpage says they should.  Users must have the
sense not to open attachments such as the Nimda one.  Above all, I think
Microsoft ought to look into revoking the licenses of those that do not
update their server software when security fixes are so easy to get.  There
must be a way they could do that.
