This has nothing to do with car audio, but I think it's important enough that everybody knows about it. As an IT manager, I can tell you this one is a nasty one, and Microsoft is qualifying it as CRITICAL...
If your automatic updates are turned off, go here and download the update fo XP... (If you are still using a good OS, like 2K, go here) The issue addressed in this security update is a worm that is circulating the internet, and you don't even have to download any email to get it... just getting ON the internet makes you vulnerable. Panda Antivirus (the best AV software money can buy, IMHO) has more technical information on it...
This one is nasty boys and girls!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
