Worms

In fact this worm has appeared in year 2008, and had been wreaking havoc on internet users ever since it was release to the internet. According to security official this worm is about to get even more dangerous when it receives its latest refresh in a series of periodic updates on April 1. So be sure to update your Windows security patch and also your anti-virus to prevent it from infecting your PC. US-CERT recommended that Windows users apply Microsoft security patch MS08-067 to help provide protection against the worm. The patch is designed to prevent an attacker from remotely taking control of an infected computer system and installing additional malicious software.
