Code Red: You've probably heard about this pesky worm which is threatening to bring the internet to its knees.

When I last looked 377,132 hosts had been infected in three days.
VIRUS WARNING? DON'T PANIC: Verify those virus warnings from well-meaning friends and acquaintances that flood your e-mail before you send them on to others. More often than not, they're hoaxes. Sort out the real thing at Datafellows or F-Secure or Hoax News.
