Error Message

One of the things in the current workplace that drives me crackers is the total flakiness of the server/gateway that allows internet access through to the outside world.

It breaks down at least once a day, blocking everything with an “Access Denied” message. On occasion, the breakdown will be for a good couple of hours, minimum.

The only tiny silver lining on this particular cloud, though, is the even more stupid error message that comes up…

Type: content Name: Scenarios/Anti-Virus Scan Action: not-checked
Description: Error: ‘The operation completed successfully. ‘ reported by ‘F-Secure AntiVirus for MIMEsweeper’

Yes, the error is caused because “the operation completed successfully”. By inference, that means that when we have internet access, the operation is failing – so internet access is actually an error state.

Or something.
