Info: <a href="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.novarg.a@mm.html">W32.Novarg.A@mm</a> <br><br>W32.Novarg (also known as MyDoom) has quickly become one of the fastest spreading viruses. This worm spreads through email with subject titles ranging from "Hi" to "Mail Transaction Failed." The worm opens up several internet ports on your computer, potentially allower a hacker access to your computer. The virus also spreads itself to contacts in your email program's address book.<br><br>We at AgoroDex Network urge you to update your virus definitions, and to do a system scan if you think you may have this worm on your computer.<br><br>Other info: Will attempt to perform a Denial of Service attack on the website of the SCO Group on February 1st, and will stop spreading on February 12th.

AVG provide a FREE anti-virus programme which I joined up with after complications with Norton. If you have no protection I would urge any computer owner to get some. I had one 'wipe-out' and don't want to have another.

That's a fact! It pays to have your system protected and your investment too.
