VIRUS!

Do you update your avg? having an anti-virus program that
has out of date definitions is not much better than none
at all
-----Original Message-----
I run AVG with an up to date database and with email
protection enabled and
also Zonealarm, but today had a warning I had a virus.

AVG reported I had a Worm/Lovsan.A which showed up as
Windows\System32\MSLAUGH.EXE.

Can anyone tell me how this could have slipped thru my
current virus
protection, a little worrying to say the least!

Thanks

As I said in my original post, yes I have an up to date AVG database, I
check daily for updates.

Thanks anyway for the replies and I will go check the Windows security
updates mentioned.

Ack! Just noticed that "other" way of writing the date is being used.
Sorry!
