One of our stores got the W32.Blaster.Worm virus. It is a real pain in the butt, if you happen to get it go to the Symantec site to get the patch to fix it.

Good Luck!

Actually if you haven't already patched this Windows bug before today the chances for your computer to be infected within just a couple of minutes is very high for the moment.

To avoid security bugs, viruses and trojans:

Run Windows Update at least once a week.
Update your Anti Virus program once a day.
Install a firewall.

The virus is infecting computers in record speed!

I just heard a report that the time for an unpatched Windows computer to be infected after it has been connected to the Internet yesterday was only 3 minutes in Sweden and in the USA it took a bit longer, 25 minutes.
