Hi,

The CERT Alerts and many others are free but come up slightly late. There is
another organization iDefense which sends alerts for a fee. Usually they are
the first to send alerts on the outbreak of any virus. E.g. in Sept 2002, We
had received the info on Nimda virus just in time, and shut down our
servers. So although our services were down, but we did not have to go
through long process of Recovery from backups etc. (My company had trial
subscription to the iDefense newsletters)
iDefense services are costly and to my knowledge, the Indian Army, GE (US)
are using it.
