Mon, Sept 27th - Reports have come in about a
JPEG virus released to USENET earlier today. In actuality, this appears to be primarily a trojan and not a worm, however it is unclear on what kinds of spreading capabilities (if any) might be added at a future date. The infected computers so far are being controlled by one individual.
A worm may be 24 hours or less away.

The above link is to a tool which will check for any programs that might be using an exploitable version of the GDI driver. Suggestion is to update as needed.
