New Windows virus hits computers

Anti-virus firms are warning about a Windows worm called Sober that is starting to spread widely online.

The virus emerged at the weekend and is multiplying because so many versions of Windows are vulnerable.

Many people are thought to be falling victim to it because one version poses as an update from anti-virus firms.

It also tries to hide by using many different subject lines in both German and English and by changing the name of the payload holding the virus.

    Reminds me of the Simpon's episode where Lisa (or was it Bart) compared the intelligence of her Hampster with the one of his father, and the father turned out to be just stupid (like the mapster ran away forom a piece of chiece under electricity, while Homer came back and back and back to get the next electroshock.
