OK, so this is more of a rant than anything but over the weekend our mailserver got hit with tons of german spam. A little digging and I came up with these articles:

The spam is sent with the Sober.Q worm. In order to have Sober.Q on your computer, you had to have Sober.P, since Sober.P downloads Sober.Q.
The big boys all came out a couple weeks ago and said definitions needed to be updated.
When will people start updating their definitions on a regular basis. It's not hard, it can be automated. And whats the point of having a virus checker if you don't update your virus defs. And if it's not a free one, why let your subscription lapse....makes about as much sense as a condom with a pee hole in it.
