WWYD: Person you must correspond with keeps sending viruses |
|
My oldest daughter's troop leader continues to send me emails with files attached (troop rosters, newsletter, etc.). Those attachments contain a virus. My anti-virus software allows the email to come through, but deletes the attachment. (I could change this, but I'd be infecting my computer if I opened the files.)
I've repeatedly forwarded the notice from my anti-virus software to the troop leader, pointed her to places to download free anti-virus software/cleaners, and so-forth. Still, she continues to send these emails out to the whole troop with viruses.
Should I respond and include the entire list in my response this time (I don't know if anyone else knows these files have a virus)?

1. Block her address somehow so you can no longer recieve |
|
emails from her; if she won't keep her machine clean then it's the only thing you can do.

2. And give her a bunch of self-addressed stamped envelopes |
|
so you can keep your kiddies up to date on troop business.

3. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks! |
|
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why someone who knows they have a computer virus wouldn't do something to fix it. *sigh*

5. Block her. That's what I did to a colleague who was too cheap... |
|
to buy anti-virus software.
Yes, respond to "all" with your explanation why you won't accept any more email from her.

6. This troop leader needs to be impeached! |
|
Sending attachments with viruses, my word! This reflects badly on us all & as a former Girl Scouter, I am outraged! You have to ask yourself, What Would Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low do?
I'm really upset....
