1) Word From Secunia:

Secunia has launched a new service called Secunia Virus Information.
Secunia Virus Information is based on information automatically
collected from seven different anti-virus vendors. The data will be
parsed and indexed, resulting in a chronological list, a searchable
index, and grouped profiles with information from the seven vendors.

Furthermore, when certain criteria are triggered virus alerts will be
issued. You can sign-up for the alerts here:

2) This Week in Brief:

ADVISORIES:

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the Eudora mail client.

The first vulnerability was discovered by Paul Szabo and can be
triggered by embedding an overly long link in an e-mail. Successful
exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The second vulnerability was discovered by Brett Glass and can be
exploited to obfuscate the actual link contained in an e-mail.
