Daniel Hanson, 2004-03-29

Social engineering in the latest crop of viruses has people jumping through hoops to open malicious attachments. How do we change the pattern?

I find that working in a school environment, the only way to solve the problem is filtering. What i mean by that is give access to only such a filtered version of the internet that is deemed harmless. On our school you can download vitually nothing, browse approximately half of the internet (what isnt deemed pornographic or harmful) Now is this the best solution? I dont think so, but we have been virus/problem free for the past 6 months since implementation. whereas before it was one virus plague after another. Any insights??
