Worm Turning

Yes, yes, they keep on coming - this time it's the "MyDoom" worm.

The worm is contained in e-mails with random senders' addresses and subject lines. While the body of the e-mail varies, it usually includes what appears to be an error message, such as: "The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment."
I've received one copy FORTY-ONE FIFTY-SEVEN ONE HUNDRED TEN copies!

The lesson is clear: people who double click attachments should be shot at sundown...

Update: Oh, and if you receive an e-mail from someone, anyone, at the World Wide Rant with that virus attached, it's not us doing the sending. It's the worm randomly slapping together e-mail addresses (for instance, there is no robert, kim, laura, or steve with an e-mail account on our mail server).
