Post subject:  Beware of the spreading virus

A computer virus attack that has infected more than 6.5 million Windows PCs this week is one of the worst in years, internet security firm F-Secure has said.

Reports from PC users across Europe, including Cyprus, suggest the worm is spreading at an alarming rate.

In total the worm, which is known as Downadup or Conficker, has infected nearly 9 million PCs since its first version was unleashed two years ago.

Computer users have little to fear if they keep their computers patched with the latest Microsoft security fixes, but Microsoft says that at least one third of PCs have not yet been updated.
