There is a new worm on the loose, but this one is much better intentioned.
It actually removes the blaster worm from an infected computer and patches the hole that it and blaster use to access your system. I don’t believe this is the best way to solve the virus problem on the web, but something had to be done before Ýmore destructive blaster variants were released unto the world – too bad it will probably bring routers to their knees.
I think the saddest thing is that this will probably be more effective than Microsoft’s auto update or the media blitz of information about the virus.
Update: 2:56 PM
“SoBig virus variant rapidly inflecting Windows machines”, the third virus in as many days. We mac users, still, couldn’t care less – virus emails are just spam to us.
