Zotob Virus
The company I work for is a healthcare firm. Needless to say how important it is to have a robust and reliable IT backbone. All was well until Aug 15th, when we realized that 840 of our workstations were affected by this nasty worm called “Zotob”. The worm causes the computer to spontaneously reboot.
The Zotob worm started spreading on August 14, but mainly affected systems running Windows 2000. If you are running Windows 2000 based workstation, you maybe at risk. Is your Windows 2000 machine spontaneously rebooting? Are you having trouble with login?? If you have not experienced any symptoms you still need to visit Windows Update to obtain the patch.

Zotob suspects were finally arrested in Turkey and Morocco. For more information, click here
