New Computer Virus

If ya haven't in the last 24 hours or so, update you A/V software definitions.....

(John, you're up on these things, so check it out, but I am pretty sure it's legit)

Just ran out to the store, and heard on the radio there is a new worm out there that hit New Zealand and Australia this past midnight and is going around...

While I didn't catch the whole report, this one is particularly sneaky for the unsuspecting, cause it's disguised as an E-mail from Microsoft as a Security Alert, and has an attached file you are supposed to execute as a patch....

Which is silly, cause Microsoft never sends out e-mails with an attached file as a patch, they do it thru their Web based Windows update alert...

But just for those that might be un-suspecting....
