Employee Bob Smith received an e-mail message from an address that he did not
recognize. Because the subject of the message was “Business Opportunities” Bob opened
the message. Shortly afterward, his computer crashed. He then noticed that his machine was acting
sluggish and crashed more than usual. Pop-up ads and offensive images filled his screen. Bob figured
that it was just his computer acting up. By the time Bob recognized that something was seriously
wrong with his computer, the virus had e-mailed copies of itself to many of his co-workers, crippling
the network. What steps would you take to prevent this from happening to you?
