Kama Sutra Worm on the way....protect yourself`

[Don Claybrook]

I don't think this will be a big, bad, world-stopping worm. Nonetheless, you may wish to exercise care when opening email attachments tomorrow.

Here's a Slashdot discussion on the issue:

Here's an F-Secure standalone utility for said worm:

And for good measure, an analysis of the worm:

Consider bumping periodically if so moved.

Thanks.

1. Cool, another toy to play with!

Having a Mac, I am always overjoyed when somebody sends me a virus. I can open it up, examine what makes it tick, dissect it, play with it, and never, ever have to worry about it harming my computer. I just love Macs:evilgrin:

2. Obligatory, I understand

We'll need a pro-Linux post too. I like both Apple & linux too, but there is the other 90% of the installed personal computer base to be concerned with also.

Thanks.
