We conducted a test on the computers in the network, and that 50 were quickly found and removed from the network and replaced . "

"The Department of Information Systems" that is responsible for the automation late in a statement on Facebook know that the only way to prevent the spread of infected files on the network is blocking was zip files. "We apologize for the inconvenience and will deliver these files as it is safe."
