Destructive Worm Targets Firewall -- 7:59 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

There's a nasty new worm on the loose that targets a flaw in the BlackICE and RealSecure firewalls. The really bad thing is that it will overwrite parts of your hard drive, making it inaccessible. If you use either of those firewalls, check this page for a patch. Unfortunately, they don't say what to do if you are already infected. Thanks Slashdot.
