The MyDoom virus is being dubbed by some as the 'worst ever'. Make sure you're protected, don't welcome it onto your computer by opening any suspicious e-mails.

[blockquote]MyDoom crawled onto the Internet on Monday, quickly clogging email servers, as it propagated itself with millions of messages laden with malicious software code.

    ...or maybe it's just because the threats from virus's are increasing on a weekly basis. I know what you're saying, but to be fair I've had well over a dozen e-mails with this virus attached, and that's in the space of just a few days. I've never had that many of the same one ever, let alone in the space of a week.

    Microsoft and SCO are offering a half million to turn the person in. If I knew this idiot, I'd turn them in for free, but $500,000 is a big incentive.
