The best, most objective information is still at http://kumite.com/myths/

Anti-virus vendor sites should be taken with a grain of salt.  Remember, they
want to sell you the cure, so it's in their best interest for you to believe

RE: "BubbleBoy" -- the patch to prevent this type of attack has been
available from Microsoft since August.  Perhaps Microsoft Outlook users who
don't keep their software up-to-date can become infected by simply opening an
email message, but *I* can't -- my email client doesn't execute any kind of
code embedded in email messages.
