Virus alert

As an IT professional, I don't understand why this particular virus is catching so much news. From the crap I've seen on people's machines, I'd estimate that 80% of all home computers are infected with something. Sure, some are nastier than others and spread faster, but people only seem to care when something is hyped up like this. As a side note, if you're running Norton, I would worry. That placebo won't catch a damn thing.

Also, as long as you have a good Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and your Windows updates are all installed, you don't have to worry. The April 1 thing will only affect already infected systems. The virus periodically updates itself and April 1 will be one of those updates.

If you're without virus protection, I would recommend running Avira AntiVir
