Osiris the virus

This afternoon, in the middle of rushing to create a document for my 2:30 p.m. meeting, I discovered in horror that all the .doc and .docx files in my directory - and on the entire server - had been changed to nonsense names of file type "osiris." Blergh. Over the weekend, our incoming e-mail had been arriving without the usual filters due to some earlier problem, and someone must have clicked on a bad attachment. It was not me! In fact, I was later told with some confidence that it was a particular person who was not me, and then authoritatively that it was someone who was not me. That was a relief, since I was one of only a few people using the server at that point in time, and I did open two attachments, though they were from coworkers. I think it's all cleaned up now.
