Downadup Worm Awareness
The nasty worm dubbed Downadup.AL is reaching out and touching many people. F-Secure has a (beta) application to check your Windows system for infection - it's here: ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/anti-virus/tools/beta/f-downadup.zip. If you use Firefox browser (and why wouldn't you?) using the Add-on No-Script is a wise move to prevent this and other nasties from gaining a foothold into your system. Of course, running a software firewall, hardware router and and Anti-virus application is your best bet to remaining free of doom.
