FYI:

The BlackICE firewall was compromised Saturday by a virus called "witty". It is a very destructive virus that attacks via the Internet. It is NOT email based and is completely automatic.

If you are using BlackICE you should disconnet from the Internet NOW and use another PC to get the patch you need.

Tsk Tsk Tsk. Isn't Andrew on the BlackICE team?

:throws stones at Andrew:


;)

Yes, and we worked round-the-clock last weekend to make sure the patch was out to all of our customers before eEye released the details of the vulnerability.

Get the latest update and you'll be fine.
