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."

WTF do you want then? A dialog box for every time the computer does something, including move the mouse (to stop trojans that take control of it), or for every byte written to a file? At least it does offer some protection, and doesn't trash a multi user system for everyone, goddamn MS sucker-off

MOD DOWN!
*sigh*
If there actually was a Linux distribution that could do that, I would probably even take it, even without a worm to install it.
What other wet dreams do you have? If this worked without the user even noticing don't you think there would be a distribution with the same level of ease-of-use?
You linux losers never cease to amaze me.
You picked the wrong Mercenary to Cross PhilippeT
The work of a digital mercenary is hard but hey somebody's got to do it and that somebody might as well be me.
I'm surprised you took the time to reply. I was really just trolling for dork comments. :-)

I mod down every jackass who puts his moderation policy in his sig. Oh, wait a sec....
Why do you post repeated replies to my messages? Isn't one enough? They do log IPs, you know.
I think OSS is a great idea when it works.
I have no idea what you're talking about with the "damning entries" in my journal.

Both of them.
