I haven't had a virus attack on my PCs in the more than ten years I've
been connected to the internet and I don't run any virus protection
at all. I just have a reasonably responsible family and a system which
is inherently fairly safe (ISDN NAT router).

Just took a phone call from a NAV user a client a disabled lady who depends
on E mail to communicate -- her computer is rebooting when ever she
attempts to connect to the internet -- my immediate suspicion a
trojan/worn, a quick trawl reveals MSBlaster as the likely culprit. I
suspect the version of NAV virus signatures file on her computer won't be
more than 2 weeks out of date as she recently renewed her sub to Norton. It
would appear the worn came right through the XP firewall and was undetect by
NAV.
