To all of you using Windows Operating Systems - Vista, XP, 2000, ME, Windows 98/95, NT4 and any other variants.

There is a new 'Worm' on the loose.

Please make sure you have the Winows Auto Update switched on and set for a time when your computer is on. The default setting by Microsoft for the time to update is 3am!!! I don't expect any of you have your computers on at that time regularly?

The patch for this worm was issued in late October but a lot of people do not keep their 'puter up to date.

If you have a query about this please ring me. 01752 895362.

Sorry, I forgot to say this is not a hoax. Whenever you see a threat about a new virus/worm/trojan you should always do a search on Google to see if it's a hoax. This one is called Conficker, Downadup, or Kido
