    McAfee offers free newsletters about latest virus threats to your email.

    Go to www.mcafee.com and signup by registering your email address- no strings attached.

    Similarly, other antivirus software makers also post antivirus information on their website.

    www.avast.com (avast!)

    www.grisoft.com (AVG)

    www.bitdefender.com (BitDefender)

    www.symantec.com (Norton)

    www.free-av.com (Avira antiVir)

    Probably the best place for that would be

    www.symantec.com

    They have links for most recent viruses and if you know names, you can also look them up there.
