Thread Name: Tech: W32.Welchia.Worm Virus - New !
Subject: Tech: W32.Welchia.Worm Virus - New !
In the wake of last week's worm, news just out of a new one. Symantec (Norton) are categorizing it as Level 4 severity on a scale of 1-5, so pretty serious: but there are fixes for it. It can get in through 2 different ways.

Best information I could find about it was here:
W32.Welchia.Worm

Having been one of the victims of the worm last week, thought I'd alert you to this !   According to the article above, it seems that even if you have installed the patch and eliminated last week's worm, this one can find a way in to cause problems via another route.
