Got the following from Zone Alarm today>

Who is at risk?
Users whose computers are not configured to receive patches and updates from Microsoft and who are not running an up-to-date anti-virus product are most at risk. All customers who have a ZoneAlarm product that includes antivirus have protection, including ZoneAlarm Antivirus, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite and ZoneAlarm Extreme Security. Each of these products not only includes anti-virus, but also the OSFirewall which monitors and blocks dangerous behavior within your operating system.

If you are running ZoneAlarm Free Firewall as your exclusive PC security software you are at risk, beause it does not contain both antivirus and OS Firewall protection.

Protect Yourself with ZoneAlarm Antivirus for only $19.95

Reminds me of when I went to the bank for a mortgage and the guy tried to sell loads of insurance policies.

There is some info on the timesonline website about it advising that the people behind it are v clever and why would they use their network of infected pc's on this date when they can wait and hire it out in the future after more expansion etc.
