The Security Mentor

Antivirus firm Sophos reports a new infection called "Bofra" which spreads via email. The email has subject lines like "Confirmation", "Hello", or "Funny photos :)" and tries to trick you into clicking a link which it promises will take you to free pornography or to an explanation of why your PayPal account got charged $175. The link goes to a web site that triggers last week's Internet Explorer bug and takes over your computer.

This is a lot better than it might have been. You can avoid this one by taking a "Just Say No" policy toward unexpected links. You're safe if you use XP Service Pack 2 or a non-Microsoft web browser.
