There is a new virus that is particularly bad because on Feb 3rd it's going to start deleting a whackload of important files on your HD (eg. word docs, spreadsheets, photoshop files, powerpoints, zip files, pdf's etc). It will continue to do this on the 3rd of every month.

Please make sure that your virus scanners are up to date and you are prepared for this.
I've got a Mac, so I'm good, but I figured it was an important community service announcement in case people had not heard of it. Some people whose system clocks are ahead have already started losing their files.
