The problems never seem to end with Microsoft.
This serves yet as another reminder to the general public to be wary with thumb drives etc passed around.
Many a times, worms can go undetected even if you have a virus scan.
They copy themselves over to your systems even before you open the drive.
To combat this situation we at Thomson Web Design have came up with a few tips!
1) Patch your system regularly. This will ensure you are protected from the latest worms and security loopholes in your system.
2) Do not download from suspicious sources!
3) Scan your zip files / exe files etc before opening them! Worms may even hide in images files too!
4) Ensure that whoever passes you an external drive, scans it for viruses first.
5) Remember to update your anti-virus regularly.
6) Always have a backup of your system, so if anything major happens, you can revert to your backups.
