Sorry to tell you this but a new virus/worm is making it's way around.
The worm/virus is called W32.Bugbear. You can read all about it at:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bugbear@mm.html
I always have to be in the room when I am downloading my mail because my
Norton Antivirus program is catching them all. People on the mailing lists
are STILL NOT keeping their anti-virus
software current. You just can't have Norton or McAfee and think you are
safe! You need to subscribe to those programs so that every time you boot
up your computer they automatically check to see if new
virus/worms are out there ready to attack and then they update your
computer. Please take responsibility for you computer and do what's
right. If you can't afford it then don't get on mailing lists with your
computer. Go to your nearest library and use theirs.
Sorry for the speech to those 99% of us who are responsible. If you
have questions, I will be more than happy to help you, email me off or
on list.
I realize that my statements are very strong, but I feel it is necessary.
