Hi folks, Dave here.
Over the last couple of days, our mailboxes have been flooded with the results of a particularly nasty email worm, W32.Sobig.F@mm.
Essentially, this worm is on a number of your machines, and since our public email addresses are in many of your address books, or are otherwise cached on your machines, we are receiving literally tens of thousands of copies of this worm in our mailboxes every day. This, on top of our already massive normal email loads. Macintosh, Unix and Linux variants are not affected.
So, I'd like to ask that those of you who use the affected operating systems, namely any Windows OS post-3.x, please go to the link listed below, and follow the steps necessary to ensure that this worm is not exploiting your machine to spam everyone you know with copies of itself.

While you're at it, perhaps browse around the site and check out the other worms and viruses that are out and about. There have been quite a few lately. We greatly appreciate your help in alleviating this problem.
