SARS virus in your email
A computer worm that takes advantage of growing concerns about the Sars virus has hit the web.
The computer virus, known as Coronex, takes advantage of public panic about the real life virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
The mass-mailing Windows worm aims to persuade people to open an attachment offering details on the current epidemic.
Subject lines include "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome", "SARS Virus" and "Hongkong.exe". [BBC]
Frankly, I am bored of these viruses that come in the mail and fwd themselves to all the people in your address book, its the same story over and over again just with some different name. I am no great programmer and all but I mean come on grow up already, the whole thing was fun for about 10 mins after the first virus of this kind was sent out.
And whats with the users, how hard is to understand one simple sentence - Do not open attachments with funny names and unknown users. Dimwits...
