New Virus Name?

[El Pirata]

What was the name of that new virus/worm, whatever it is?

More to the point I have a Win32 BI Application that does not look familiar, is it something legit?

Hmm...that doesn't ring any bells. MS Blaster and Sobig.F are the two that have been going around the most. You can find more at http://www.sarc.com.

Another thing I like about Sarc is they list all the virus hoaxes as well. After all, if "Aol just announced this yesterday" then it must be true, right?

The blaster worm would be rebooting your machine, which is a stupid design flaw for a worm. You can't very well propagate if your host is rebooting all the time.

I think they should have named it the "Girlfriend Virus". Always shutting you down right in the middle of something interesting...

Dude, you're not right!!!

One more thing Girlfriend Virus is not a good name because GF's generally want to please their man until they are married, Wife Virus would fit the picture better.
