Some of our smaller libraries support public access to free web email,
and are turning to the system office for advice on coping with the
Melissa virus. We state the obvious: keep your antiviral software
up-to-date, tell your patrons not to open attachments from unknown
sources, consider dedicated email stations with no applicatoins
software.
How are others of you who support public access email protecting and
educating against viruses?
