The worms crawl in...the worms crawl out...
From Tech TV: "A dangerous new Internet worm is spreading and will try to delete and overwrite files on infected computers beginning on Wednesday. The worm, dubbed Klez.E, is programmed to delete and overwrite Word, Excel, video, image, and net files on the sixth day of every other month. Klez.E displays different subject lines, sometimes masquerading as a virus warning, and it tries to delete antivirus software as well. The worm can infect computers running any email system, but only sends itself to recipients listed in the address books of Microsoft's Outlook. Email attachments containing the worm can execute automatically, infecting the system just by a recipient reading or viewing the email message and not opening the attachment."

I normally don't pass these along, but this one sounds nasty! Be careful!



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Take a deep breath and repeat after me: I am a Mac user now. I don't have to worry about these things. Viruses and worms are for Windoze users. Doesn't that feel better?

Nope -- because my husband isn't and my old harddrive with all of my old work is now on his PC. :-)

Norton Anti-Virus updates automatically every time a new virus is reported, and it'll scan all emails, even in non-OE programs (ie. Agent) - needless to say, it should be worshipped regardless of your operating system. ;-) (On a bonus note, Agent doesn't open any attachments without you manually doing it. OE security flaws? What're they?! :-))
