There is a new virus that was discovered yesterday. It will come in to your mailbox as a spoof or as a mail failure. Do not open the attachment. It will create a backdoor to your computer. If you have virus protection, make sure you have the lastest as of today. You can go to the norton or mcafee site to read about it.The virus is called mydoom or novarg

They say it is the fastest moving virus yet. It is supposed to set up a denial of service to some company on February 1.

This is a nasty bugger. They've been coming in about 3 per minute today. There was one similar, about a year ago that seemed to proliferate as much, but I don't recall the name.

These things really aren't all that much trouble though if you safeguard your self.
