New Storm Surges Through I.T. World

According to the Internet Storm Center there is a new Storm worm spreading across the internet with over 20,000 infections detected in a single day last week. Apparently that must be the number of people that fall for the age old “click here to fix your PC” e-mail messages because that's how it spreads.

The latest Storm worm variant is another indication that antivirus software is no longer an adequate means to protect consumers from malicious threats, as researchers are finding many Storm worm infections caused simply by users running the e-mailed Storm executables and inadvertently infecting their PCs with the new Storm virus.
