bugbear strikes again....take notes !!!


A new variant of the dangerous Bugbear virus is on the loose and has begun spreading rapidly. Bugbear.B is quite similar to the original virus except that the new version contains a keystroke logger and is capable of changing its appearance to evade detection.
The virus first showed up on the Internet Wednesday, and anti-virus companies say that it has been infecting PCs at an alarming rate. Message Labs Inc., a New York-based e-mail security company, has stopped more than 17,000 copies of the virus since last night.

Thanks for the heads up!

FWIW, Bugbear.B has been stomped on by Norton here several times in the last week. It comes in email attachments, but it hasn't made it past the door.
