New, more aggressive worm

[Boston Guy]

The new Bagle worm variants are taking advantage of weaknesses in Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express to infect computers without users opening email attachments.

 

Anyone who uses one of the three programs listed above should read the following article

and also make sure their system is patched and up-to-date.

 

So far, AOL email users seem safe. :-) :-)

Where does one get a patch? When I was 13, I came home from school one day and was horrified to find that my mother had put large, faux-denim iron-on patches over the holes in the knees of my favorite pair of jeans...holes that had taken me months to create. I recall the line I said to Mom: "Thanks; I just went from sexy to geeky in one day.") But I digress. Where's this good patch?

As with any system update, it's good to have a backup of your system before running the update.
