Title: Reminder: Sober.Y
Post by: Eric the Red on January 05, 2006, 02:25:11 AM
Don't forget that January 6th is the day on which computers infected with Sober.Y (the name and variant may change dependiing on which AV vendor you use) try to download and execute code from certain addresses. Check with your AV vendors website for details of the worm, you may wish to block certain websites at your firewall - I believe that most of the target sites have been removed from the 'net but there is debate as to whether or not this will be sufficient to stop the worm.

If you haven't already done so please run a full virus scan of your machine before 23:59 Jan 5th (UTC / GMT) to ensure that this one is not laying dormant on your computer.  :thumbsup:
