  Virulent worm Targets Microsoft
Time: 10:26 EST/15:26 GMT | News Source: BBC | Posted By: Joshua Baer

Security firms are warning that a new strain of the Mydoom virus could spread more widely than its predecessor. They fear that the thousands of PCs infected by the first Mydoom bug are being used to spread the new variant. The second strain, called Mydoom.b, is programmed to attack the websites of Microsoft and software firm SCO. Mydoom is now ranked as one of the largest virus outbreaks ever and at its height made up 30% of all e-mail traffic, according to anti-virus firms.
