A security dude from the phonecompany said: "The first thing to do when you get home to your computer is *NOT* to start the email-program".
Interesting enough, besides sending itself to everybody in ones address-book, it also deletes image- and music-files from your harddisk. Maybe the RIAA started it? :-) No wait, maybe it was DR? They just aired a (hilarous, I might add) show about Windows not, uh-oh, being safe (the good old Back Orifice story...).
ComOn reports that the virus is a variant of a virus called "Pretty_Park". They also claim that it affects Microsoft programs, but they don't know if it affect other programs :-)
Oh, and ComOn also says that there is a cure... Perhaps people should consider getting a better cure? :-)
Apparantly it has hit the UK too, at least that's what SlashDot is reporting...
And people are starting to complain about all the "Don't open that email"-emails they get... :-)
My stomach hurts from laughing!
