Worms, viruses, and other nasty stuff...

The recent outbreak of internet worms and viruses is alarming. This morning my mailbox had over thirty messages with suspicious attachments. I deleted them all. The messages keep coming, though. It becomes a pain because they are all large, so they end up filling my mailbox. Just like the power outage, I think these worms expose the vulnerability of the internet. Are we becoming too reliant on the information superhighway?

Reminder to self (and anyone else reading): Backup everything that is important.
