@iiogama The instructions say to "balance security and efficiency". Option A requires the least amount of work, and the policy for keeping it off the internet has an exception for circumstances like this. B will result in an extra bill, which is obviously inefficient. C and D both require the administrator to set up something new which is probably not on the list of approved procedures, so they are both inefficient and insecure.

How to stop ransomware:

1. Trace all running programs to find encryption algorithms. This could be complex, so you'll need AI/ML.
2. Extract the encryption keys from memory. The AI/ML can help with this too.
3. Upload the keys to another computer.
4. When ransomware strikes, you already have the keys. Decrypt your files and ignore the threatening letters.

The Microsoft Office popups are wrong. Hyperlinks will not harm your computer and your data. Buggy programs that follow hyperlinks and execute whatever they find harm your computer.

Have your e-mail server download any Office documents linked from e-mails, convert them to troff format, and edit the links to point to a web-based troff editor. Tell everyone this is the new version of Office Web Apps. Answer all questions with "Try sudo wget | tbl | eqn | vbscript | troff | lpr".

Managers and team leads: when you send a High Importance e-mail, Outlook increments the priority field in the IP header. If you keep replying with more High Importance messages, the field will overflow into the evil bit and your e-mail will be dropped.

Everyone else: please continue to ignore the High Importance feature.
