http://www.microsoft.com/security ?

Also take a look at www.sarc.com for the latest virus removal tools,

including:

* W32.Sobig.F@mm
* W32.Dumaru@mm
* W32.Welchia.Worm
* W32.Blaster.Worm
* Backdoor.Winshell.50
* W32.Mimail.A@mm
* W32.HLLW.Fizzer@mm
* W32.Bugbear.B@mm

The big ones are SoBig and Welchia, coming close behind is Blaster.

Due to the number of submissions received from customers, Symantec Security Response has upgraded this threat to a Category 4 from a Category 3 threat.

W32.Bugbear.B@mm worm is:

* A variant of W32.Bugbear@mm.
* A mass-mailing worm that also spreads through network shares.
* Polymorphic and also infects a select list of executable files.
* Possesses keystroke-logging and Backdoor capabilities.
* Attempts to terminate the processes of various antivirus and firewall programs.

Seems pretty serious to me :)

Even if they are hoaxes, they still classify them as viruses. Millions of dollars are still lost from hoaxes according to virus companies. Not sure if i believe them though.
