Upcoming holidays, increase of virus outbreaks

To my experience, holidays such as christmas gives virus writers even more time to create and deploy new viruses. This threat is mostly against the Mircosoft platforms, whoever, there is some smoke on the security lists about a brand new Unix virus. So I will fire up all my IDS and NIDS this christmas, to make sure I catch some new attack signatures.

Be aware and be careful surfing.
