    Some specifics of latest threat for today!

    Just received from my ISP:

    The most recent virus threat to the Internet, W32.Welchia.Worm,
    also known as, W32/Welchia.worm10240 [AhnLab], W32/Nachi.worm
    [McAfee], WORM_MSBLAST.D [Trend], Lovsan.D [F-Secure],
    W32/Nachi-A [Sophos], Win32.Nachi.A [CA], Worm.Win32.Welchia
    [KAV], has been upgraded by Symantec to a Category 4 (of 5)
    threat.

    This worm attempts to download the DCOM RPC patch from Microsoft
    Windows Update Web site, install it, and then reboot the
    computer. It then checks for active machines to infect by sending
    echo requests, or PING requests, which will result in increased
    ICMP traffic.

                  Hmmm...I wonder who gets the "honor" of naming them?
