Well according to base security out of 1500 email accounts here we had just 22 that opened it and viewed the attachment. The email system is back up, the network boys have found what they think is files corrupted by the virus, the 22 accounts have been locked out until the base tech security can verify their machines (and smack them over the head).

And yes people do open up email if they know the person and if they are not suspicious of the subject, but David this virus came from people out of Crane, with a subject of I love you. I think the 22 don't have a leg to stand on when they get reprimanded for their stupidity.
