Sasser Worm

[Cos]

As many of you may know, there is another worm virus out there. Click here (http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp) for information and solutions to protect yourself. I would recommend that you download all the microsoft updates.

The good thing is that they caught the jerk and it was another kid.

Glad to see they caught the bastard, now they need to publically execute him. If they had some sort of severe/fatal punishement for this type of offense then maybe these guys would stop, probably not but they might think about it more before they release these viruses. I spent 12 hrs on Monday installing updates and cleaning this crap off the pc's at the day job, it is a real PITA when this crap gets through.
