 Web search engine company Google is blocking efforts by a new Internet worm to use its search engine to find vulnerable computers on the Internet, the company announced this week.
   
Google is blocking searches launched by Santy.A, a new Internet worm that targets servers running phpBB, a popular electronic bulletin board software package, according to a statement from the company. Without any native ability to scan for vulnerable computers, Google's action halted Santy.A's spread, according to antivirus companies.


Your probely all battened down ... but I just thought i'd pass it along just incase .
Happy Holidays BTW .

Well, we do not use phpBB.  I was aware of this though and checked UBB to make sure it would not be vulnerable.  We are good to go.
