Apparently ignorance is bliss. Well, at least for those that are not keeping their antiviruses updated. The Register reports that the relatively new virus, the Zafi-B worm, was going strong throughout August. I believe that this is a clear indication that major action is needed to begin educating people on how to properly use a computer.

“Although we have seen a small, 10 per cent decline in reports of Zafi-B since last month, this email-aware worm doesn’t look like it’s going to fade into obscurity anytime soon,” said Carole Theriault, security consultant at Sophos. “Protection against Zafi-B has been available for a couple of months now, and computer users need to get into the habit of updating their systems in a much more timely manner, or this nuisance will continue to dominate reports.”
