Microsoft weighs in on Kama Sutra worm

[Xipe Totec]

Microsoft in an e-mail Tuesday warned users to update their antivirus protections against the Kama Sutra worm, the mass-mailing virus slated to begin corrupting files later this week.

In its advisory for the Kama Sutra worm, otherwise known as win32/Mywife.E@mm and Nyxem.E, Microsoft warns users to be wary of opening unknown attachments.

The worm, which infects a user's computer once an attachment is opened, may also spread over writeable network shares if there are blank administrator passwords. Users hit with the worm may find a number of their files permanently corrupted on the third day of every month, beginning this Friday.

3. Poor Microsoft customers. When will enough be enough for you?

I'm sailing along on OS X Tiger, and let me tell you: you couldn't pay me to go back to Microsoft products.

Recycle your PC and get a Mac.
