Playing catch-up..

Hey All,

Been hearing stuff about a new virus called blaster something or other, anyway just wanted to confirm my knowledge on viruses so not to get caught out.
Viruses can only get into your computer if you allow them, eg you have to actually open a file or a e-mail or accept a download of some sort, they can't just come along and plant themselves on ya comp, with no warning or having to dl some sort of file.
Is this correct ?

Cheers, Dave

Not entirely mate,

Blaster is a horrible virus - just make sure your Windows Update is upto scratch and it wont be able to infect your PC

www.symantec.com is very helpful.
