The corporate world was hit by this latest Virus last week. It's a new variation on an old theme but you should take it seriously. This especially applies to those of you without Virus protection. You may think you have it because Norton came with your computer but are your virus definitions up to date?
In many cases I think not. You got the program for free but you haven't paid for a new subscription to Virus Definition up-date when the old one ran out!
In my case this was two months on my new HP!!
You can read about the new threat at
Watch out for e-mails with attachments ending in double extensions ending in .exe, .scr, or .pif
Remember that the mail will appear to come from somebody you know, perhaps with a Subject they have mailed you with before.
You can download a free check and remove tool from Symentec at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bugbear.b@mm.removal.tool.html
You can also get them to check out your whole system for free by following this link
