I'm infected.

[BillGeek]

Here follows an email from our "Network Security Officer":

Hi ***,

Please remove this PC (***) from the network because it is infected with the conficker worm.

I have also disabled this user's VPN access because I see this is a laptop, and it could therefore attack the network via VPN as well.

Regards,

P.S. please arrange for your PC to be disinfected and patched for MS08-067 and for anti-virus to be loaded before it can be allowed back on the network and before your VPN user can be re-enabled

I downloaded a detection tool from McAfee and it also said that the machine was infected, so I downloaded a Removal Tool, rebooted the machine (what seems a hundred times) and ran the detection tool again. Voiala! It's gone!

Who needs IT when you can do things yourself!

IT glares with anger at your presumptuous statement.

[kregg]

But do you have it patched?

The humiliation of IT all.

Your mom said that? Sorry to hear that, just don't produce a child that's also your brother/sister

No no no, your getting it all wrong. Thats what your mom said to me last night...

Sorry... but has CC stooped so low that we are now doing your mom jokes! This is so low, it makes Kregg look moral! You should be ashamed of yourself!

Fixed, and agreed

Juggalo Started it!

[kleinma]

without IT, would you ever have known you had the thing in the first place? Since they needed to email you to tell you?


and enough with the mom jokes already

[kregg]

You guys make me want to cry. With anger.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Yes, the doctor said that could be a side affect, but you need to keep taking those pills... otherwise we might have another inappropriate picture moment

Hey hey hey, there's no need to get mothers into this. If it weren't for your mother, you wouldn't be here.

Mother. There is no other. Like mother. So treat her right.

I don't recall Mr. T. using Ls when he said FOO

[kregg]

He does.

Anyways, to BillGeek, did the IT department take back your laptop? Were they like "OMG BillGeek u r teh ossims!!"? What?? WHAT?? TELL MEEEE!!!

I'm so gripped by the anticipation of the answer that I will fall off this chair. Three. Times.

That is true. I constantly got emails reminding us to patch, but no. I have to be otherwise and not do as I'm told. (I know... I'm a moron. At least I patched my PC at home about three months ago)

Fortunately no-one had to take a backup. I'm still not allowed back on the network though. For some reason, I'm not allowed to access the network while my laptop is infected. Oddly enough (and this just takes the cake for n00b IT department of the year) if I plug my laptop into a different network point, it works. Can't believe it... They just disable network points???

Anyway... I now have my AntiVirus installed, all patched for the Conficker worm, and now just waiting for someone to flip a switch somewhere. Oh, the joy of IT.
