Please note that these are loooong passwords, 63 and 64 characters in length. But you can cut and paste to pare them down.

These passwords are useful in a number of applications including securing wired and wireless networks and Virtual Private Networks (VPN).

These passwords are about as perfect as you can get.

The storm worm remains very dangerous and is the most prolific SPAM in recent history.

It’s success is undoubtedly related to the clever social engineering that it uses to entice people to open the attached .zip file.

It warns the user that their computer is infected and their email will be cut off if they don’t install the attached “patch”.

Ironically, the “patch” actually installed the Storm Worm Trojan, and the user will indeed be infected.

For more info please refer to the Computer World article.

Just ran across some excellent lists of free security scans and security sites.

Disclaimer: We have not tested most of the scans, so please use with care. Any scan that automatically makes changes in your computer should be used with due diligence.

Generally speaking, these online scans are very helpful as a second opinion and as a backup to installed anti-virus and anti-malware programs, and are highly recommended.
