Virus warning ... only 4 AV progs detected it

A huge virus surge of a new Storm Worm variant is flooding e-mail inboxes and evading many antivirus programs. In tests of 31 programs, only four reported a virus.

To stay safe from today's ongoing worm surge, exercise extreme caution with any unexpected e-mail attachments, even if they seem to come from someone you know. Also, be sure your antivirus software is up-to-date. Though most antivirus programs are currently missing at least some of the variants, the companies will update their signatures as the attack progresses.


Have a nice day.

The latest batch attempts to fool readers--with subjects like "Worm Alert!" or "Virus Alert!"--into thinking they are already infected and need to apply a supplied patch--an attached virus.

If I remember we had a post here yesterday from someone who received one of these
