    According to the article above there is this new rootkit that is invisible to nearly all scanners, sounds nasty.

    Just wondered if this thing is likely to spread quickly and should we be worried about getting it.

    Also what sorts of websites will this thing be on so i know what sort of sites to try and avoid.

    Since its been found they will probably get a patch for the Anti-Virus and crap, I wouldn't be too worried.. just avoid bad porn sites and other such things :P

    Not to worry, if it's been found out the antivirus programs will make a patch. ^_^
