Quote regarding the "Storm" virus: The best advice for blocking Storm is advice you should have been following for years: block executable attachments at the gateway or have your e-mail program block them. Run antivirus software and keep it up to date. Don't click on attachments that you don't expect and don't know exactly what they are in advance. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2088013,00.asp
