Virus Updates
Well folks, it seems to be worm week, make sure your patches and your anti-virus software are up to date…. especially against Sobig.F and Welchia, and others.

SoBig.F worm, deemed a Level 3 threat, which attempts to download Internet files and leave computers vulnerable to attack, arrives as an e-mail with subject lines such as "Your details," "Thank you!," "Your application" and "Wicked screensaver" and does wicked damage.

Would you demand her name, e-mail address, date of birth, current job and zip code before offering even the most basic information about your company? Would you force her to fill out complex applications just to find out if you're even hiring?
Of course not. You'd never do these things. No HR pro would--in real life.
