Female virus writer attacks her fellow coders...
Guys,
More virus news.
Sophos experts have advised customers about a new email-aware worm that has an unusual payload. Not only does it attempt to disinfect computers of another worm but it also contains a message disparaging another virus writer.
W32/Sahay-A is an email-aware worm that spreads via a screensaver called MathMagic.scr. If users run the attachment it drops a file called yahasux.vbs onto the hard drive which then forwards the virus onto everyone in the Windows address book. The virus goes on to attempt to disinfect any infections of W32/Yaha-K it may find. However, due to bugs it may fail to do this correctly...

Bye.
