QUOTE: Websense® Security Labs™ has confirmed that the Storm worm has once again switched lure tactics. The worm has now adopted a Halloween twist in its attempts to infect users with malicious code. The first copies of the new emails began going out just before 9:00am PST on Tuesday, October 30th. As with previous Storm emails, various subjects and bodies will be used.

Thanks for the very timely warning!
I hope our Members, especially those who have children with computer access will take precautions, or the Trick or Treat night might end up as only a Trick that is not a treat.
Cheers,
