After our discussion this week on anti-virus software, I was feeling pretty comfy about my level of protection. My Norton Anti-Virus software updates its definitions diligently every night, and I feel protected all day. But, this world has gotten so small that in my little out-of-the-way corner, I was sent a worm that was so new it was just added to Norton's site TODAY!!! We're talking hours here folks.

When I got the email in question every fibre of my being told me it was a virus, but then I thought it couldn't be because Norton would have caught it, so I let my guard down, let my curiosity get the better of me, and I checked out the attachment (which, or course, was from a known source). So, now, I'm infected.

I hope I don't transmit this to any of my contacts here at Letterville, and my apologies if I do.

LESSON...DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! If you haven't updated your virus definitions in the last 2 seconds, you're vulnerable.
