R -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 10:54 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] Major site crash Today was an interesting day. A call from a small site announced that they could not get any stations running. Fortunate there was only 7 stations and one server. The server was running without issue but all stations were just in a continuous reboot mode. It appears that some kind of virus or malware had been seeded on each station and it activated at exactly the same time on each. I have never seen anything like this before. Vipre was installed on each station, with full-time protection activated and nothing was announced or stopped. Though no data was lost each station had to be re-installed. Has anyone heard of this before?
