New Virus Threat - BugBear appeared on Sunday and has already been elevated to HIGH RISK by the anti-virus companies. Yesterday was the time to update your anti-virus software, but if you haven't yet done so, NOW is the time. Bugbear arrives via e-mail with no distinct characteristics except for an attached file that is always 50,688 bytes long. The subject line and text may be taken from existing e-mail. Antivirus companies recommend that users download Microsoft's Outlook patch, update their antivirus programs and avoid clicking on mysterious attachments unless the sender confirms it is safe.
