It looks like the government is taking the threat to seriously. I'll let Reuters take up the baton:
Britain launched a Web site on Thursday aimed at helping computer users avoid damage from Internet viruses and other online threats.
The government-funded IT Security Awareness for Everyone site (www.itsafe.gov.uk) will give free advice on data protection and issue virus alerts to those who sign up.
"There is a clear need for easy-to-understand and simple, independent advice for non-technically minded people who use computers," Home Office Minister Hazel Blears said in a statement.
So it's basically a government-funded virus alert service. Is this a sign that they realise the importance of the network?
