For many years, we posted on this page virus and worm alerts we received from Symantec (Norton), McAfee, or other sources. We have stopped doing that, first, because these days it seems alerts are issued too frequently for us to keep up, and second, happily more and more internet users seem to be getting the message that it pays to surf protected.

That said, here is a link to Symantec's "Latest Threats & Risks" page: http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response

If you cannot afford to purchase an anti-virus program, there is a free alternative: AVG AntiVirus at http://free.grisoft.com/. I have never used it, so I cannot speak from personal experience; however, it looks legitimate (whatever that means). At least, it may be better than nothing.
