Mac users: disconnect computers from Simmons network immediately

This is an alert from Technology at Simmons College.
Users of Simmons Macintosh computers should immediately disconnect their computers from the network.
There is a virus spreading throughout campus that disables Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint and Word). We do not yet know how the virus is spreading. Sophos Antivirus has an update that identifies the virus, but does not yet disinfect.
Because we do not know how it is spreading, the only prevention we have is for Macintosh computers to stay off the network.
For updated information, see http://my.simmons.edu/technology
We will send another update when we have a fix for the problem.
