Default Virus Attacks

I seem to have had three virus attacks today.

So far all of them have been stopped by Norton

Has this happened to anyone else today ?

This is the link to Symantec about the virus that attacked me.

once yesterday
twice today

The w32.yaha.k@mm.html virus has been upgraded because of an increase in occurences.

Make sure your anti-virus software is updated RIGHT NOW

Nothing today, fingers crossed and touch wood.

Hopefully the firewall and virus checker are doing the business!

A timely reminder to make sure yours are up to date, folks.

Why don't you try using ZoneAlarm it stops everything so far it has stopped 2407 intrusions, 166 of them have been high rated on my computer, i also have norton and nothing has come up on there today either, so it might be worth you getting it as it makes you near enough invisible on the net
