Editor's Note
=============
This week TrainingZONE is pleased to inform IT Training
members of its new specialist zone resource centre, dedicated
to the needs of IT Managers and IT Trainers it contains news,
information and links that should not be missed.
Virus warnings are becoming so frequent that we tend to greet
new alerts in a cavalier fashion! The problem is there are
almost as many scaremongers as there are malicious virus
developers. Nevertheless, we should be vigilant - news of the
latest virus (see link below), which appears to have been created
for the more vulnerable weaknesses in the existing Outlook e-
mailer, was issued last week. How many of us dismissed this
latest warning out of hand, under the belief that it would not
affect us?
Perhaps we should all consider the implications of a virus
attack, as evidence suggests the virus creators are not going
away without a fight, quite the reverse as they appear to be
increasing in strength and cunning.
The average computer user has probably never experienced the
damage a virus can wreak, nor would they want to. To this end we
should continue to be mindful of safe surfing, and treat all e-
mails from unknown origins with extreme caution. Most importantly
never open attachments in such e-mails until absolutely certain
they are virus free.
Finally, we all know this, but lest we forget, remember to back
up all work, and then in the event of your computer having
contracted a virus real damage is kept to an absolute minimum.
