Someone in our customer facing side opened an email from a customer containing a 'wonderful' screen saver. We have a policy not to open any exe files, but someone didn't know that a .scr.is just a disguised .exe - and opened it.

The sh*t/fan interface then started from that.

It was the coke that did it. Nasty stuff thet. I used to use it to un-sieze stuck engines when I was just a lad working with engines. Also useful for cleaning metal, de-rusting (it's the phosphoric acid), cleaning toilets - but I wouldn't ever drink the stuff myself. Light coke (diet ?) is much worse.

Cheers,
