--------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 'Good' worm, new bug mean double trouble Description ----------- Two new threats on the Internet are creating so much traffic that some networks are slowing to a crawl, security experts say.

He also mentions the email addresses he is seeing tossed in as the spoofed sender are very much skewed towards highly technical / web oriented addresses [zd, webmonkey, uu.net, sybase, ms, netscape, etc.] so he suspects at least one of his close contacts/peers is infected (as opposed to completely random windows users who picked up his email from looking at a website with his photos). So if you're on Windows, or come in contact with a Windows, PLEASE make sure its well patched, its virus definitions are updated & its otherwise well secure.
