We had a few users recently get infected with Cryptolocker. We sent out a college-wide email from our help desk reminding users not to open unknown attachments, be cautious of following links, etc. We also implemented a GPO to prevent EXE's from running from %APPDATA%. We haven't had any reported infections since taking these two measures. -Kevin Kevin Moll Manager, Network/Server Systems Valencia College 1800 S. Kirkman Rd.
