New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger
vxone writes "Anti-virus experts are watching a new worm that spreads through Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Messenger client. The worm is not harmful to infected machines and has infected only a few PCs at this point, according to an analysis by Trend Micro Inc. Known as Jitux, the worm is self-propagating and contains a link to a Web site that automatically downloads an executable file named 'jituxramon.exe' to the PC. Once the file runs, the worm begins sending out copies of itself to all of the names in the user's Messenger contact list."
first post!
Wow, I've never ever had a CHANCE to be first post before!
"The worm, first discovered Tuesday, is capable of spawning multiple instances of itself on one PC."
Something us Mac users don't have to worry about. We don't have pre-emptive multitasking! *SmUg*
"Derp de derp."
That's got to be the best sig ever. Except if it were score: 5 it would show up. Change it to score: 0

Anti-virus experts hoping current trends continue for MS (l)users in the year 2004. According to an unnamed CEO of an antivirus firms, "Hey I don't bite the hand that feeds me. If Microsoft puts out shoddy products, I'm taking advantage of it. I mean you think I bought this mansion, ferrari, helicopter, silicon implants on Fluffy over there by writing products of Unix based machines? Microsoft is slated to make me a billionaire by years end."
Microsoft as you recall has hired the 31337est of the 31337ers in hopes of tracking down the evil coders that make Microsoft programmers look like morons. According to ^\\h4x0rj33t0^\\ #kungfunix on the efnet, "d4ts r1ght b14tch!*%!$ 3y3 j4m l0ok1ng f0r v1rus c0d3rs w1f m4h p3eps r1ght d1sh m1nut3."
Surprisingly Microsoft still hasn't managed to get its act together and many in the Open Source community are hoping Microsoft implodes, explodes, or anything similar that will send MS (l)users over to alternative operating systems.

do we even call these "worms"? The only thing they exploit is idiots running random executables. It's a disgrace to the real worms out there.

Digimon, actually. In Pokemon, the monsters usually have names without -mon ending (like Scyther, Hitmonlee, Goldeen, Staryu...) while in Digimon they're always named -mon (Frigimon, Ikkakumon, Skullsatamon, Mastertyranomon... And no, I'm not making these up :).
maybe it just smells that way?
