I just checked Windows Update on both my server (Running Windows Server 2003_ and my workstation (Windows XP), and there is no such patch available to me on Windows Update on either machine. It might be because i keep my system up to date as is (I usually go to WIndows Update a few times per week).

I have been getting this stupid SWEN worm about 400 times a day for the last week, and it STILL isn't dropping off.

I have no personal risk of infection, but I have to delete mail twice a day to keep under my 5 MB limit.

Join the club.

People who don't have enough sense to run antivirus programs, at the very least, shouldn't be allowed to use computers at all :|

I have never run any virusscanner, yet I never had a virus that originated by myself, I had nimda, and some other minor quiblings cous I'm on a lan and all computers R shared towards eachother, one stuipid fool (read: mother) opens a virus and infects the lan, since then I put virusscanners on every comp but mine, that way I'm virus free again, to prevent virusses, all you need to to is have common sense, and get security updates.

This crap made me to install Spam Assassin. Good practice for training the bayesian filter though. 😀
