Romantic Worm
Watch out for W32.Gokar @MM. This worm is suave and comes with subject lines like "Just one kiss will make it better." The worm won't damage your PC, but it will mail itself to everyone in your address book. Go to McAfee's removal advice or check out Symantec's instructions.
Beware BadTrans
A known worm is back in a new variation, and I've received dozens of infected e-mails from readers. Dubbed W32.BadTrans.B@MM, the worm not only e-mails itself to your friends, but also records your passwords and forwards them to the hacker. See Symantec's removal information, or see McAfee's set of instructions.
