This Year's Worst Worm Is Out

Virus writers are out in force and making money. Sober-Y is the new version of an earlier virus. It piggybacks on the earlier virus that has already affected thousands of computers. Experts are calling it the most widespread outbreak this year.

Take note this. "To become infected, recipients must click on the attachment, which is zipped, then unpack the zipped file, and then agree to run the executable file that appears. That provides several chances for a consumer to realize something is suspicious."
Use an anti-virus program to protect your computer. It seems this is a cat and mouse game. Just when anti-virus experts think they have defeated the virus, a new wave of super virus is released.
