Ho ho ho! New Windows worm!
« on: 29 December 2003, 21:02 »
That's right folks. Bill Gates' Christmas present to us this year was a new worm for Windows users.

A new Sober mass-mailed worm debuted over the weekend and is picking up steam. Packed with its own SMTP mailing engine, the worm includes a file attachment -- which can come with any of several file names -- that when opened, puts up a bogus error message on Microsoft Windows machines.

If they charged 25c for each bug fix they would double their profits in a year.
