OT Virus alert

I noticed a "Live Update" happening on a Saturday...
I went to the Symantec website and this is some of what they had to say:

         As of January 9, 2003, due to increased submissions, Symantec 
Security Response has upgraded this threat from a Category 2 to a Category 3.
         W32.Lirva.A is a mass-mailing worm that also spreads by IRC, ICQ, 
KaZaA, and open network shares. This worm attempts to terminate antivirus 
and         firewall products. It also emails the cached Windows 95/98/Me 
dial-up networking passwords to the virus writer.

         When Microsoft Outlook receives the worm, the worm takes advantage 
of a vulnerability that allows the attachment to auto-execute when you read 
or       preview the email. Information on this vulnerability and a patch 
can be found at 
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp.

Update you virus definitions !

I have my "Task Scheduler" set for checking for new updates every two hours.
There were two which came in on the afternoon on New Years Eve.

I'm glad I use Eudora.
