hope you have already seen this - if not heads up.

Patch needed

I think I read something about this a couple of days ago, but I just thought it was a hoax. Maybe it is for real.

I will try and find where I read it.

Yeah no patch as of yet, but if you are using Microsoft OneCare they are using definitions that block its use of the virus on websites.

Yep.. a while back :nod:

The thing that consern me, is that MSN Messenger Worm that has the WMF Bug..

The other thing.. and we'll see if it happens tomorrow.. is that Sober worm suppose to "launch" code to differnt web sites..
Some security sites are saying that it could "bog" down the internet..
Check out the news article on the SpeedGuide's home page.
