A Valentine&#39;s themed outbreak of the Storm worm has been detected. Malicious e-mails are being received across the globe -- they contain a Web link, which directs users to a Web site where they can supposedly download a Valentine&#39;s card, but in fact are infected with&#160;the Storm bug.&#160;The virus mirrors the fake Christmas and New Year messages seen in previous months.According to Greg Day, security analyst at McAfee, the virus will try to steal personal information from your PC, bring down its security defenses and use your PC to send out millions of junk e-mails.&quot;There are about 10 million PCs worldwide infected with the Storm worm. These threats have suddenly spiked from 0 percent of all spam e-mails to 1.5 percent and they are continuing to rise as we draw closer to Valentine&#39;s Day and more people are fooled into downloading the malicious file,&quot; he commented.&quot;With all the hype that surrounds Valentine&#39;s Day, it was only to be expected that they (the people behind Storm) would use a similar tactic and exploit people&#39;s eagerness to receive Valentine&#39;s cards,&quot; added Diego d&#39;Ambra of e-mail security company&#160;SoftScan.PC Advisor is an InfoWorld affiliate.

By tomorrow -- or perhaps Tuesday, if the National Hockey League decides not to spoil Valentine's Day -- the 2004-05 season will officially be canceled. It would be the ultimate irony to pull the plug on a day that is supposed to celebrate the heart, not break it.

On the BitFlux blog today, Christian Stocker talks about the patch for PHP that allows for a simple progress meter when files are uploading.    Showing a real progress bar when uploading large files is an often requested (and quite informative) feature, which is not easily doable with the way the upload handling works in PHP. There is a patch available for PHP 4.4 and 5.0, which made it nevertheless possible, but some php core files itself needed to be patched for that.    He notes, however, that a new sort of patch for the same thing has just been committed to the PHP_5_2 branch, making the previous patch a thing of the past. It's completely new and you can check out the code here or the svnweb here.
