There's a new worm spreading: W32.Blaster.worm...hit 100,000 pcs in the past 24 hours.
There's a patch to download from MSN to protect your computer. Apparently there's some vulnerable point in the Windows system which is what this worm attacks, and will cause your pc to crash...the patch will take care of this.

Just wanted to let you all know, so you can protect your pc!

According to the articles I've read, it's attacking a flaw in 2000 and XP

I'm not having a go, goofball, or being picky about good English, but the word I think you want is obsolescence.

if there were a virus for every windows flaw, there'd be no way to patch them all up.
