	According to Mador and Putnam MS Malware Protection Center, NEERIS is back using the same vulnerability as Conficker did late 2008 and including early 2009; MS08-067 via 'autorun'. There is speculation NEERIS and Conficker authors may be in cahoots... __________________ If death came with a warning there would be a whole lot less of it.

	If you had an older model DVD R /RW player in your computer. Did you feel like you were hacked or given a bug when the update ran that prevented you from playing DVD's on your computer. The update was to prevent the copying of DVD's. $14.00 to restore the DVD players function. __________________ If you never do anything you never have problems.
