WHO'S A WORM?

March 29, 2009 - To all of my friends:

The networks have been reporting new virus worm that is supposed to hit bigtime on April Fools Day, April 1st. It is already out and about and infecting Microsoft based systems only, so far. It also gets modems and LAN's, as well as replicating itself to everyone on your email list before totally burning out your hard drive. As of yesterday, (Sunday), Microsoft had not solved the issue and was working full-time to try and do so.

Recommendation is to keep your virus software up-to-date, do not open any attachments...even if you know the person sending it as they could be infected and not know it. Do not open any emails from anyone you do not know. Keep your firewall on and stay disconnected from the internet as much as possible until you hear that it has been resolved.

Guess we got through that dilemma in good shape.
