This is nothing new, as long as your virus defs are up to date and you follow normal security advice you will be fine.

If you receive a letter from your ISP that you are already infected you need to follow the cleaning procedure on the CERT website.

My Mum got hacked today.

Despite all the publicity and being worried to death about it over the last few days she opened a link in an email from a friend entitled "Reductions"

All passwords changed and a full scan and hopefully all is well! $:-\$

The phones ringing off the hook now with all the panicky Silver Surfers....

If in doubt you can download some checking software for free from here ..

the one I use is the MS one .. it updates every 10 days to the latest version ... runs in the background and can be used to check the whole system
