I just saw this while checking on the Arafat situation.

9/11-themed viruses hit the Net LONDON, Sept. 11 — Internet virus writers marked the two-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks in their own inimitable style, releasing Internet contagions that prey on people’s sentimentality and fears.

“Neroma” carries the subject line “It’s Near 911!.” It contains a file attachment labeled “911.jpg” with the description “Nice butt baby!.”
It is programmed to delete computer files on infected PCs and scan its Microsoft Outlook Express e-mail address book in search of more e-mail victims to sniff out.
“Vote.K,” a new variation of a virus that first appeared shortly after the September 11 attacks, arrives in e-mail inboxes with the message “THE WAR HAS STARTED!,” according to Finnish security firm F-Secure Corp.
It too threatens to delete files and carries a message “WORLD TRADE CENTER/WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE LOST SOULS.”

Edit: Link fixed yo, my bad. ^_^ Thanks for the poke about it.
