RE: Sircam Virus and AS/400 -- MIDRANGE-L

I know someone who checked their email, which had a virus attached, clicked
on the attachment a few times.  Didn't think anything happened until someone
complained about the website.  Yes, drives were mapped to the ifs folder
that contained the web files and all jpg's were replaced with copies of the
virus.

Nothing like a backup to save the day.
