Computer Virus warning...

[Shutterbug]

Just saw this and didnt see anything being posted:

New Virus Warning set to hit February 3rd

From the above article:

"The Kama Sutra worm also stands out because its primary purpose is to destroy files rather than to seek financial gain or to take control of a computer, security experts said."

And as Dan Murphy always says...have your virus definetions up to date as well as your Windows software.

Have your AV updated and also run a complete scan on your hard drive to make sure it isn't already infected with this virus. There are also tools available which will check for the presense of just this virus.

And make sure you have good data backups!

The best defense is a good offense- as everyone has said, make sure you have a good AntiVirus software installed and keep it updated always!

What is this 'Antivirus' thingy you talk about. Is it something I need?
