Yahoo! Virus

"The e-mail containing the virus need only be opened -- in contrast to most worms that are hidden in attachments and require users to take an additional step -- to release the virus, according to computer security site Symantec Corp."

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be on the lookout for this.

So I got the "New Graphic Site" from one of my sisters, opened it and figured I'd be spammed from here to eternity since there was nothing in it.

Then I got that news article. I scanned and updated everything I could, but I don't have Norton Anti Virus on my computer. (I have F-Prot and ZoneAlarm instead.) So I couldn't download whatever patch they told me to get.

I'm going to assume I don't have it... but I'm not really sure if I should be backing up everything again on my system.
