Worms Attacking Instant Messaging

Just a reminder - If you use IM applications such as Yahoo, MSN, ICQ or AIM you should be as carefull when dealing with files as you would be if you had received attachments in an email from someone you had just met. Exactly. Never except attachments from unknown or unverifed sources. And for Pete's sake always run an Antivirus and Firewall so when you get nailed, and you WILL get nailed, you have some hope of repelling the invader.

To download a safer (and better) IM client called GAIM go here.
