I didn't get hit at home or work because of BetaONE. I was online last night and saw the post about the new worm. I immediately installed the MS patch and updated my virus scan (Mcafee) and that plus Zone Alarm Pro probably kept me from getting infected. At work I updated the virus scan and installed the patcha nd no infection there either.
I read on McAfee's site that most recently updated McAfee Virus Scans would pick up the virus as a variant of another virus and keep you safe anyway. I don't know about this but I didn't get any infection on the computers I use...of course I am religious about keeping my virus scan DAT's up to date.
I know a tech at Best Buy who has been swamped by people bringing in thier computers with this virus and paying at least $30.00 for the tech's to clean thier systems...which takes about 10 minutes each...and he will be staying there al night tonight to get all the computers done. What a money maker for similar repair places.
Good luck to everyone.
