Talk by Barbie (and JJ maybe) On Malware

In the early days of computing, networks and servers were left more or
less open to anyone, as everyone looked after the machines they used,
never maliciously doing any damage. Then someone decided that it would
be "fun" to try and break things. Today there are hundreds of thousands
of malware threats, many of which now borne over email. This talk looks
at the many different types of malware (including virus, spam and
phishing) and provides some clues to help those of a more technical
nature, wishing to filter and stop these threats reaching their inboxes.

So be there it will be interesting that much is guaranteed :)
