What is it with virus writers?

I mean, c’mon. What kind of low self-esteem does a person have to have that makes him (or her???) get a high out of causing thousands of people pain and suffering due to their “trick” malicious code? It’s ridiculous.

Ok, now that the rant is over, and no, I haven’t had to clean a machine in the past couple of weeks, I just wanted to give a reminder that Sober.Y and/or Sober.Z is expected to have another bout of maliciousness on Jan 5 & 6.

Also of note is a new trojan running around via the recently announced WMF vulnerability. Man, virus’ in graphics. It’s going to send us all running to use lynx.

Be safe out there.
