OpenOffice.org Virus Spreads

A virus written in numerous scripting languages that can affect Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X computers is slowly spreading via infected OpenOffice.org documents. Best practice is, of course, to never accept documents as attachments in email if you were not expecting them. Inform the sender that it is always best to announce attachments before sending. Having a good Anti-Virus and firewall is also an excellent idea just in case nasties end up on your system. Better safe than sorry!
