Symantec offers free download to fix new Beagle virus
I'm a Mac guy, and didn't realize how big a problem this had become, but apparently a lot of Win users can't even get e-mail and stuff. I saw this on another board, if anyone needs it. Good luck...I hope you don't need it!

3. ...and Mac guys should be concerned, too!
Not that MyDoom will infect a Mac, but the DoS attack it's apparently designed to unleash on 2/1/04 will affect us all.
