As Valentines day draws ever closer the flood of e-mail's designed to trick you (Classic Social Engineering) into clicking on a link that will infect and take over your computer start coming fast and furious.
 
Here is a write-up on the latest variation of the Spam Worm (should we change it's name to the Love Worm?)  that uses such subject lines as
 
"Valentines Day"
"Sweetest things Aren't things!"
and my favorite
"The Love Train"
 
 
The Storm worm continues to be a menace to all of us who spend any time on the Internet so practice safe surfing habits.
