yet another windows worm

Post by joatmon »

yeah mac users, I know ....So another worm around the internet, this one is called "sasser" If you're not behind a firewall, run windows 2000 or XP, and haven't run windows update for a couple of weeks, then you are at risk. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and get the updates. Don't be one of those people who contributes to the problem by running an unprotected system. This one's not another email virus, has nothing to do with email. However, some body has kicked off an email hoax that supposedly from an antivirus company claiming to have a fix, and the attachment in that email contains a different virus.I guess I can't figure out where the motivator is for the people who come up with this stiuff, other than maybe just anarchy.
