Roger have we got anything to worry about here?

Read about this and thought I'd ask you.

CyberCrime & Doing Time: Downadup / Conflicker Worm: 8? 9? 10 Million Infected?



I have just run a update and there were no updates.

Hi BaZa, this peice of malware takes advantage of a missing Microsoft patch.
As long as you are up to date with your patches and have an up to date Anti Virus running you should be ok.

Check out this link for info...

SANS Internet Storm Center; Cooperative Network Security Community - Internet Security - isc

this link expalins about "Autorun"

see this for affected systems:
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067 – Critical: Vulnerability in Server Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (958644)

stay safe
