New Virus *Worm out! HEADS UP
 

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...20&u=/nf/23458

The passel of new worms sport a virtual alphabet soup of labels: "Bagle.q," "Bagle.r," "Bagle.s" and "Bagle.t." Some security firms have dubbed the new variants "beagle." They are mutations of the original Bagle worm first discovered in January

Bagle exploits a flaw in Outlook, revealed in October of 2003, that allows a hacker to upload and execute a file on a user's PC without that user opening the file. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) has issued a patch for the flaw in October, but users who have not updated their systems with this patch are at risk.


"This steps up the game," Sophos security analyst Chris Belthoff told NewsFactor. "The education part of protecting against viruses -- 'Don't click open attachments' -- got thrown out the window with these variants."

this rash is killing me now

I went to my doctor last week and that worm had wiped out his HD. Bastard made me make another appointment..

Why can't the traffic fines computer have those problems.

And yes , who uses outlook ?? and who the fuck still opens attachments..

I swear to god they should take away internet access from people who cant use the internet properly..

" Sorry but we have deemed you to stupid to use the internet, your internet service has been revoked "

The occasional update of the anti virus programs should help.

Never visit porn sites should help too :1orglaugh

Increase your Active X security settings as well. Damn browser hijackers are a nightmare.

if you updated regulary from microsoft you shouldnt have any problems

Who the hell opens suspicious e-mail?

LOL count on microsoft to help you.

Thats only if microsoft knows before you do..

Most people just need to learn some basics like what not to click...

That would cut down on 99% of this shit..
