New virus uses pornographic bait-and-switch | |
|

| Time: 16:12 EST/21:12 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

A new e-mail virus that promises an eyeful to Internet users but instead cripples Microsoft Windows emerged Tuesday, although anti-virus software companies said they had come up with a cure by mid-afternoon. This destructive worm appears as a forwarded e-mail with ``Naked Wife'' in the Subject line. Readers who click on the attached file, called ``Naked Wife.exe'', will not get a nude picture, but will instead see a short cartoon followed by a vulgar message, signed by ``BGK (Bill Gates Killer).'' All the while, the virus is deleting key Windows and system files on the user's PC, rendering the computer unable to start up properly, according to Susan Orbuch, a spokeswoman for anti- virus software maker, Trend Micro Inc. Similar to earlier worm-type viruses like Love Letter and Melissa, NakedWife can spread quickly by e-mailing itself to everyone in a user's Microsoft Outlook e-mail address book. | ||
