Antivirus software companies are warning customers about a new e-mail worm that targets unpatched Microsoft Corp. Windows machines with either of two recently disclosed software vulnerabilities.

Identity management software company Netegrity Inc. plans to announce a new version of its user provisioning product on Tuesday.

Symantec Corp. has captured an example of what is believed to be the first virus that targets 64-bit Microsoft Corp. Windows operating systems, the company said.

A software glitch slowed Akamai Technologies Inc. servers and made it difficult to reach some of its customers' Web sites Monday, the distributed computing company said.

A new Internet worm is spreading by exploiting a flaw in the Sasser worm, according to an alert issued Thursday.

You're talking risk; he's talking ROI. You're talking IP theft; he's talking process protocol. Any CSO who has stood in front of a skeptical CEO and talked about security knows how difficult it is to make IT security a priority for corporate decision-makers.

A new version of the Sasser Internet worm, Sasser-F, appeared on Monday, despite claims by German authorities to have arrested the sole author of that worm on Friday.

Almost 1.5 million Windows customers downloaded a cleanup tool for the Sasser Internet worm in the first two days after Microsoft Corp. began offering the tool on Sunday, according to a Microsoft spokesperson.
