I dont know which forum is best to post this on just to make everybody aware that the is a worm attacking windows machines at the moment that are not fuly updated on windows updates, so just to make sure everyone is fully updated to protect themselves 🙂 ---

Because of my job I use Windows (5 types (server and workstation types (one of which is being tested b4 release)), and 2 types of Linux (server and workstation types)). I realise this is a [pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) forum but I just wanted to look out for my fellow phero users! ---

I was thinking this doesn’t belong on this forum… it’s appreciated, but wouldn’t it be better in a different section? After all, there’s a new worm or virus for Windows about every 10 minutes… lol ---
