Just saw this in the news this morning…

DailyTech – New Rampant Windows Worm Seizes 8 Million Business PCs in a Week .

“As of today, an estimated 8.9 million machines are infected with the virus.  The very sophisticated worm exploits multiple secure flaws in Microsoft’s Windows OS’s.  It injects itself into services.exe, a common system process.  It creates a new DLL file in Windows system folder with a random five letter name.  It makes registry edits referencing this DLL as a service, so it’s automatically run on restart.”

A lot of Mac users I know use their Mac’s at home and a PC at work. I am curious how many have been hit with this bug.
