Greetings All,
I just wanted to drop a note to let you know that there are multiple new
worms gaining ground in the wild that you should know about:

BugBear
Opaserv
Kak variant

There's another that's spreading on *nix servers but that's not of concern
to the average home user. The opaserv one is because it spreads through
open shares, which you have if you are broadband and have sharing enabled
with no passwords, etc. Avoid the use of Netbios and sharing on home PCs
where one is connected to the Internet via broadband. Install a firewall
and use updated anti-virus software. Configure your firewall to block all
incoming UDP traffic (find it in the settings if you have that option).
Update against all known vulnerabilities in products like Internet
Explorer - get your updates from Microsoft at microsoft.com. Finally, be
wary of all e-mails containing mixed content and attachments - consider them
infected until proven otherwise. Practice safe computing out there!
