it's the same procedure to not get infected as usual: Don't open the attachments. Apart from that, the biggest nuisance is the sheer volume of mails containing the virus. I used to get several hundreds of these per day, but now am rejecting mails that contain Zip archives (on top of rejecting Windows executables). I plan to take out the filter after a few days, since there are times when I receive Zip archives, but for now, this was a five-minute hack that really saves me some time. If you need some inspiration and have a Unix-based mail server, take a look at

(I was too lazy to actually look into the archive and see whether there's executables inside, so I am just rejecting all Zip archives.)
I've got an older NetGear router that I think has a hardware firewall
Will help against direct attacks, but not against viri/worms distributed via e-mail.
Please join me in prayer to defeat the people (and/or demons) responsible, bring salvation and peace to their icy hearts, and 'break their teeth' as appropriate.
There's a saying something like "Don't blame it on the devil if sheer ignorance and laziness could be the cause"... :). Whose ignorance and laziness I won't go into, as I don't want to stir up a debate for controversy's sake. I do hope the whole thing will be over soon.
Greetings and blessings, Christian
