Thanks Ginger. 

 

Now for something unpleasant for all of us on-line~

My daughter just called to warn me to check my system for a new virus that was released TODAY.  I am running an on-line check of my system right now, just to be on the "safe" side.  I am merely passing on the information, since this bug seems to be hitting everywhere, HARD!  I have a wonderful firewall AND anti-virus program, but like anything, they need to be updated to catch something that only came out today.

 

I would strongly suggest that you update you anti-virus program and use either Symantec or Trend's free, on-line scanning to double check, then watch out for ANY e-mails with attachments, even those from folks you know.  Better safe than sorry~

 

Here's the information on it from Symantec

		THREAT: W32.Bugbear.B@mm CATEGORY: 4 W32.Bugbear.B@mm is a mass-mailing, polymorphic worm that also spreads through network shares. This worm infects a select list of executable files, has keystroke-logging and backdoor capabilities and will attempt to terminate the processes of various antivirus and firewall programs.
