Sasser worm rampant
Well you've probably already heard all the horror stories in the news over the last few days about the Sasser worm. Unlike more conventional virus-borne worms like Blaster, Sasser isn't delivered via email, and this reiterates the need to keep your PC up to date, particularly if you're running Windows 2000 or XP.

More information on Sasser, including links to a patch that you can download to protect your PC, is available from the Microsoft web site:
