Viruses

[low_delta]

Is there etiquette for sharing viruses? If you send one out, shouldn't you make an effort to tell everyone in your address book that you did? Shouldn't you make some phone calls, or get to someone else's computer and send eveyone you know a message wherein the subject line is "Don't open Monica virus!"

I got the virus e-mail from a friend, and I didn't hear that it was going around, until several days later. It was okay because that account was text only, but he didn't know that. I'm like "people! wake up! Let's try to help each other out, here!" I would have been extremely pissed if it had trashed my brand new, week old computer.


Oh great, now my loud neighbor just got home upstairs and he's playing with his dog. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than when the dog is lonely and bark/howls, like it was doing fifteen minutes ago.

Inconsideration Angst

It's so annoying when people aren't as considerate as we are, isn't it?

If you're still online, you're welcome to send me an email rant.

i am positively anal about keeping my virus software up to date at home, but our network at work is constantly plagued with the things, and they make it really hard to update.

Actually, I never got to livejournal last night. I posted from the client.

Thanks for the offer. Actually, I wasn't really in "rant" mode. I was just annoyed. I knew you were on, seeing your posts come up the same time as mine, at Anarchy.
