An email flooded in yesterday, allegedly from some medium sized cheese at head office. Apparently the IT support bods have a tool on all the machines to help monitor performance and this needs to be upgraded. Pls to download the file at the end of this link and click run.
On the one hand, no way, do you think I'm daft? On the other, the email looked kosher, address checked out, formatting and sig checked out.
What is a remotely working chap to do? I ring head office. Is this email for real? Why yes, yes it is.
I download the zip file and extract an exe. Click run.
Whoops!, or perhaps, hurrah!, I do not have admin rights to install stuffs on my machine.
Drink coffee instead.
